Rosemary Olive Bread Recipe

Rosemary Olive Bread Recipe yields a rustic loaf featuring aromatic fresh rosemary and briny chopped Kalamata olives. The dough combines bread flour, yeast, water, and salt, then proofed slowly at room temperature for up to 18 hours for flavor development. Baking in a hot dutch oven produces a crusty exterior and tender crumb.
