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).

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.
