Step 1
Combine warm water, yeast, and sugar in a small bowl. Let sit for about 5 minutes, until yeast is foaming.
Step 2
Meanwhile, toss olives, thyme, garlic, and salt with flour in the bowl of a stand mixer, making sure olives are completely coated.
Step 3
Set mixer on low with dough hook and slowly add yeast mixture to flour. When ingredients are mostly combined, increase speed to medium.
Step 4
Knead dough for 5-10 minutes, until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and forms an elastic ball. If needed, add extra flour one tablespoon at a time until dough comes together.
Step 5
Cover mixing bowl with a damp towel and set in a warm place. Let rise for 2 hours, until roughly doubled in size.
Step 6
Cover a baking sheet or large pan with nonstick spray. Punch dough down and place on the pan for the second rise, about 30 minutes.
Step 7
Preheat oven to 500°.
Step 8
When the second rise is complete, bake at 500° for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375° and bake for 30-40 minutes, until bottom is browned and sounds hollow when you knock on it.
Step 9
Let cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting.
