For a richer flavor, use roasted garlic instead of fresh minced garlic. If you don't have a food processor, you can knead the dough by hand. To add some heat, include a pinch of red pepper flakes with the olive and garlic mixture. This bread is best served warm, either on its own or with your favorite dips or spreads.

01 Step
Recipe View In a medium bowl, dissolve sugar in 1/2 cup warm water. To proof the yeast, stir in the yeast and let stand in a warm place for 5-10 minutes, until foamy. (5-10 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Preheat oven to 105 degrees F (40 degrees C). Warm an oven-safe bowl in the oven. (15 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Place flour in the bowl of a food processor. Add salt and pulse for a few seconds to combine. (2 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Start the food processor. Pour the proofed yeast mixture into the flour through the feed tube. Immediately add the additional 3/4 cup warm water, then the olive oil. Process for about 1 minute, or until the dough ball cleans the sides of the processor bowl. If the dough is too wet, add a little flour through the feed tube while processing. If it's too dry, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time. (5 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Turn off the food processor. Remove the lid and transfer the dough to the heated bowl. Cover with a plate or plastic wrap. (2 minutes)

07 Step
Recipe View In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic and chopped olives. Set aside. (5 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View Once the dough has risen, transfer it to a lightly floured board. Make an indentation in the dough and place the olive and garlic mixture inside. Knead the dough about 10 times, incorporating the mixture. The bulk of the mixture should remain in the middle of the dough. Form the dough into a log or round loaf shape. (10 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View Grease a pie pan (for a round loaf) or a baking sheet (for a log) and dust with cornmeal. Place the loaf on the prepared pan, cover with greased plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes. (30 minutes)
10 Step
Recipe View Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (10 minutes)
11 Step
