Step 1

Mix yeast with 1 & 1/2 cups of warm water and set aside until ready.

Step 2

Combine all the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, bread flour, salt, garlic powder, and dried oregano in a large mixing bowl (or stand-mixer's bowl).

Step 3

Add the honey, olive oil, and yeast mixture.

Step 4

Mix and knead until you get a smooth dough, then place it in an oiled bowl.

Step 5

Cover the bread dough with a clean kitchen towel and set aside until it doubles in size.

Step 6

Lightly dust your countertop with flour, and divide the dough into two equal portions.

Step 7

Roll each portion (no particular shape or size) and place the chopped kalamata olives on top.

Step 8

Roll the dough back, knead it gently and form it into a ball.

Step 9

Use a sharp knife to cut a cross on top of the kalamata bread dough, then place it on a tray lined with parchment paper.

Step 10

Cover with a kitchen towel and set aside until it doubles.  (This generally takes me 30 to 45 minutes.)

Step 11

Preheat oven to 200°C (375°F).

Step 12

Brush your olive bread with water --- use a pastry brush.

Step 13

Place the baking tray in the lower part of the oven for 30 to 35 minutes; or until it turns golden.

Step 14

Set aside for about 20 minutes.

Step 15

Your kalamata olive bread is now ready for slicing and serving!
