Total Time: 1 hr Preparation Time: 25 mins Cook Time: 35 mins

Ingredients

• 1 cup warm water
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast (1 pkg.)
• 3 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus extra for the work surface
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup olive oil, plus extra for coating the loaf and the baking sheet
• 1 tablespoon chopped lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 1/2 cups greek olives, preferably oil cured, pitted (9 ounces)

Recipe

• 1 stir together the water and sugar in a small bowl. sprinkle the yeast over the top and set aside until bubbly, 15 minutes.
• 2 place the 3 1/2 cups flour and salt in a large bowl and mix with a fork. make a well in the center and add the 1/4 cup oil, the zest, garlic, olives, and yeast mixture. stir together until fairly well mixed; then use your hands to knead the mixture into a crumbly ball.
• 3 transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until it is smooth and elastic and no longer sticky, 10 minutes. lightly bush the dough with oil, cover it with a cloth, and set it aside in a warm place to rise until doubled in bulk, about 2 hours.

• 7 remove the bread from the oven and cool on the baking sheet until ready to serve.
• 8 variation: olive cheese bread: olive garlic bread easily turns into another cypriot loaf, a cheese and olive bread. omit (or leave in) the garlic and lemon zest and add 1 cup grated cheese, preferably cypriot haloumi.
• 9 the nontraditional choice:.
• 10 while it is easier to use kalamata olives (they are readily available and can be bought pitted), traditionally cypriotic olive breads use only oil-cured or oil-and-salt-brined olives, never those that are cured even partly in vinegar, as kalamatas are. cyprus produces both green and black olives, plump to wrinkled, cured in numerous ways. using kalamata olives for the olive flatbread, the taste of the bread, while slightly tarter than the traditional, is still excellent.

Perfect Pizza Dough

Total Time: 1 hr 40 mins Preparation Time: 1 hr 30 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 cups warm water
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 5 -6 cups all-purpose flour
• garlic powder
• oregano

Recipe

• 1 dissolve yeast and honey in the warm water, stirring gently with a wooden spoon. *hint* whenever i am activating the yeast in warm water -- i use a metal (1st choice) or glass bowl. before adding anything into the bowl, i invert it in the sink and let hot water run over the outside of the entire bowl for a minute or two. this way the bowl is already warm when you place the warm water and yeast into it, so that none of the warmth from the water is going to heat the bowl instead of the yeast! :)
• 2 let rest for 10 minutes.
• 3 sift together the flour and salt. sometimes i will also sift in some additional spices to make an herbed pizza crust. oregano, garlic powder, basil, and rosemary are some nice additions.
• 4 add to the wet mixture and knead for approx 10 minutes place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. cover with plastic wrap and a tea towel. let the dough rise in a warm place, until double - about 1 hour.
• 5 punch down, knead briefly to let the air bubbles out. top with whatever you like and bake at 425ºf for approx 20 minutes.
• 6 this recipe also makes great breadsticks. follow same directions as above - when adding the flour and salt, add garlic powder and oregano. let rise same as above. when ready to bake, roll into strips and twist 3 or 4 times. lay on a greased breadstick pan or cookie sheet. brush generously with egg and sprinkle with kosher salt. bake at 425ºf for approximately 5 minutes or until cooked through. enjoy!
