Olive-Rosemary Flatbread

16 Servings—Vegan

 

 

1/4-oz. pkg. or 1 Tbs. active dry yeast

1 1/2 cups lukewarm water

7 Tbs. olive oil

3 cups bread flour, plus extra for kneading

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

2 tsp. coarse salt

2 large cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup finely chopped kalamata olives

1 tsp. minced fresh rosemary

In large bowl, sprinkle yeast over water and stir with

fork to dissolve. Let stand 5 minutes. Whisk in 4

tablespoons olive oil.

 

In separate bowl, mix bread flour, whole wheat flour

and 1 teaspoon salt. Add flour, one cup at a time, to

yeast mixture, stirring well after each addition. When

dough begins to come away from sides of bowl, turn out

onto lightly floured work surface. Knead in garlic,

olives and 1/2 teaspoon rosemary. Continue kneading,

adding more flour as necessary, until dough is shiny,

elastic and no longer sticky, about 10 minutes.

 

Transfer dough to lightly oiled bowl and turn to coat

all sides with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and

set aside until dough triples in volume, about 2

hours.

 

Punch down dough and place in a greased 13- by 9-inch

baking sheet. Press and pat dough until it covers

entire surface of pan. Cover with a towel and let rise

until dough reaches top edge of sheet, about 45

minutes.

 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Just before baking,

dimple dough with fingertips and drizzle surface with

2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2

teaspoon rosemary and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Place

on middle oven rack. Put an empty baking dish on lower

rack. Quickly pour 1 cup boiling water into empty dish

and close door. Bake until bread is well risen and

golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove bread from pan to

wire rack. Brush surface with remaining 1 tablespoon

oil. Cut into squares and serve warm.
