Olive baguette

I know, this recipe takes a long time to be prepared.. but your dough needs to sleep at night too! 🙂

Don’t be afraid, if you follow these easy steps you’ll get a crispy and soft olive bread!

 

MAKES 4-5 BAGUETTES (about 20 cm lenght)
READY IN 1 day

 

INGREDIENTS:

1 cube fresh yeast dissolved into 1/2 glass lukewarm water

1 teaspoon sugar

1 glass lukewarm water

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 lb all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons corn starch

1 tablespoon salt

1 cup olives, pitted and chopped*

 

All-purpose flour to taste

 

*io used Italian taggiasche Fratelli Carli

 

 

STEP 1: MAKE THE DOUGH

Place the first 8 ingredients in a mixing bowl and knead ( you can also do it by hand) until you get a sticky but smooth dough.

 

STEP 2: LET IT REST

Cover the bowl with clingfilm and place it into the fridge for the night.

 

STEP 3: SLICE THE DOUGH

Remove the bowl from the fridge and place the dough on a lightly floured pastry board. Put some all-purpose flour on it and make it rectangular, then slice it in 4 or 5 pieces.

 

STEP 4: LET IT REST

Place the dough slices on a baking tray covered with baking paper and let it rest for 1,5 hours at room temperature.

STEP 4: BAKE

Cook the baguettes in preheated oven at 180°C for 25 minutes, then for other 5 minutes at 250°C.

 

A PIECE OF ADVICE: if you use brined olives replace the tablespoon of salt with a teaspoon!

    Can I use sourdough starter or instant yeast instead of fresh yeast and how much quantity would I use of each?

      Hi Areej! welcome on getbready.net!
      of course you can use instant yeast (3/4 oz), but if you want a more fluffy bread I suggest you fresh yeast or about 8 oz sourdough!
      Let me know how it works 😉
