Ingredients

  • 7g packet dried yeast

    180m warm water

    1 teaspoon honey

    0.5lb/250g strong white baker’s flour, plus extra, to knead

    120ml/4oz (6 tablespoons) extra virgin olive oil

    1 orange, zested

    2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves

    15 pearls black olives

    1 tsp sea salt

    1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Method Place the yeast, honey and 80ml (1/3 cup) warm water in a bowl and stir to combine.

    Set aside for 10-15 minutes to activate the yeast – it should start to bubble. Sift the flour into a large bowl and add 1 teaspoon of salt.

    Make a well in the centre, and add the yeast mixture, 2 tablespoons of the oil and 100ml warm water. Use your hands to combine to form a dough. Generously dust your work surface with flour, turn out the dough and knead for 5 minutes until you have a smooth ball. (Alternatively you can use a mixer with a dough hook.) Transfer to a clean bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm spot for at least 1 hour or until doubled in size.

    Tip out the dough and use your hands to form it into a 30 x 24cm rectangle. Press into a lightly greased shallow baking tray and use your fingers to prod dimples over the surface of the dough. Combine orange zest, garlic, rosemary and remaining oil in a bowl and brush over dough.

    Sit olives in the indents and set aside in a warm place for 30 minutes.

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Sprinkle sea salt over focaccia and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden. Serve warm
