Ingredients

  • 1 kg flour
  • 50 g baker's yeast or 2 sachets of instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 3 teaspoons salt
  • 50 cl warm water
  • sesame seeds (optional)
  • olive oil

Making

1
In a bowl, add yeast with a little warm water and a pinch of sugar. Stir so that the yeast dilutes and cover with cling film. When foam forms, the yeast will be ready to use.
2
In a bowl, put the flour, the activated yeast, the spoon of sugar and salt. Then, stir everything.
3
Gradually add the water and knead the dough. You will know that the dough is ready when it will no longer attach to the bowl.
4
Put the bread dough on the table, knead it for about 10 min until it no longer sticks to your fingers.
5
Give the dough a ball shape. In a bowl, pour olive oil and put the dough in it (still in the form of a ball) and cover everything with a transparent film. Let sit for 40 minutes. Then put it on the table and knead it a little.
6
Cut the dough into 3 parts. Give the shape you prefer (we prefer loaf), and roll them in sesame seeds if you want to get bread like in Greece.
7

Put the dough pieces in a dish sprinkled with flour, cover them with a kitchen towel and let them stand until they double in size. The operation takes approximately 1 to 2 hours depending on the ambient temperature. Then cut them with a knife in 2-3 places and cook for 40 min at 200 ° C.

This bread is ideal to accompany the tasting of good greek olive oils or a good spread of Kalamata olives.

Enjoy !
