Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour 375 g
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon yeast rapid-rise
  • 1 ½ cups water room temperature, 375 g
  • ½ cup Castelvetrano olive pitted, roughly chopped, 45 g
  • ½ cup kalamata olive pitted, roughly chopped, 45 g
  • ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese grated, 25 g
  • ¼ cup Asiago cheese grated, 25 g
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and yeast. Whisk together until combined.
  2. Add water and mix until combined.
  3. Fold in the olives, parmesan, asiago, and garlic.
  4. Pour the mixture into a clean, greased bowl and cover with plastic.
  5. Let the dough rise at room temperature for 18 hours. The dough should be doubled in size. (See notes for alternative rising times*.)
  6. When ready, place the dough onto a floured piece of parchment paper. Shape it into a ball by stretching and folding the dough over. Spray the dough with nonstick cooking spray before covering it with plastic. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
  7. Using a very sharp knife (like a paring knife or bread lame), score the top of the loaf with an “x”.
  8. Place a Dutch oven (I used a 4 quart) into a cold oven. Preheat the oven and pot to 450°F.
  9. Once preheated, carefully transfer the dough with the parchment paper to the hot Dutch oven. Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
  10. Uncover and continue to bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
  11. Carefully remove the loaf from the Dutch oven and allow to cool for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • *For a shorter rise time, you could let the dough rise for just 3 hours. However, the crumb may be tighter, and the flavor not be as developed, but it is still delicious. You can absolutely do a shorter rising time, just be aware that it may look different in appearance and have a little less flavor.
