Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Put all the flour, water, salt, sugar, yeast, and olive oil into the bread machine barrel;

   

2. 2 kneading programs for 30 minutes, the dough can be beaten to this level; I just changed to a high-gluten flour, which has very strong gluten;

   

3. 3 After the dough is rounded, continue to put it back into the spinning barrel for a second round, and cover the barrel with a wet cloth;

   

4. 4 About an hour and a half, the dough will ferment in place;

   

5. 5 Pour the dough directly into the baking pan, press it with your hands to release the air, and slowly press it around with your hands;

   

6. 6 Cover with a damp cloth and let it sit for 10 minutes, then press it again with your hands until it is as big as the baking pan;

   

7. 7 Cover with a damp cloth and place in a warm place to ferment. After 40 minutes, poke holes in the surface of the dough with your fingers, cover with a damp cloth and continue fermenting for 40 minutes;

   

8. 8 Prepare olive oil, put an appropriate amount of dry Italian mixed spices into the oil, and slice black olives;

   

9. 9 After 40 minutes, the dough has fermented in place. Use a brush to brush olive oil on the surface of the dough. Brush more and it will be delicious when baked. The olive oil will flow into the hole you just inserted with your finger. It doesn’t matter. It will be absorbed by the dough during baking;

   

10. 10 Insert the black olive slices into the holes in the dough;

    

11. 11 Preheat the oven to 180 degrees, middle rack, for 20-30 minutes; it depends on the temperament of your own oven;

    

12. 12 Take out the baked dough and brush another layer of olive oil on the surface while it’s still hot, or you don’t need to brush it;

    

13. 13 Cut it into pieces when eating. I like vegetarian dishes and like to pair them with vegetable salads and various cheeses. It’s great;
