Description

This yummy bread is quick and easy to make and no kneading is necessary. It's a great bread and the dough can also be used to make pizza!

Ingredients

• 2 t. (one packet or 1/4 oz.) dry yeast, making sure it's fresh
• 2 c. warm water (105-110 degrees F.)
• 2 t. table salt
• 4 c. all-purpose or bread flour, divided
• about 1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil plus more for oiling the bowl and baking pan
• fresh rosemary leaves (approximately 4 T.)
• 1 Meyer lemon, sliced paper thin, seeds removed
• 1/2 c. pitted oil cured, Kalamata olives, or other flavorful black olives, NOT the kind in a can
• kosher or sea salt, for sprinkling on top

Steps

1. Mix yeast and warm water in a large bowl; stir in salt and 2 c. flour; mix into a soft sticky dough. Add the remaining 2 c. flour; mix well. The dough will still be somewhat sticky.
2. Oil a clean bowl; transfer dough to the oiled bowl; cover with plastic wrap; let sit in a warm spot for 40 minutes. The kitchen counter will typically NOT be warm enough for rising dough, see notes above for suggestions.
3. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
