Background
I make this Olive & Oregano loaf regularly - it's a real family favourite! Using a bread machine means that you can quickly prepare it in the evening, set the timer and have this delicious warm bread ready for breakfast - not to mention the lovely aroma that wafts around your home! With my machine I use the "Italian" setting for the smallest size loaf (which the manufacturer calls medium!) with a cooking time of 4½ hours - hopefully you'll be able to adapt your's to something similar.
Ingredients
- ¾ tsp Dried Yeast
- 300g Strong White Flour
- 100g Strong Wholemeal Flour
- 1 Tbsp dried Oregano
- 1 tsp Sugar
- ½ tsp Salt
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 50g chopped black olives
- 280 ml spring water
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to the pan in the order listed (or as per your machine instructions)
- Set the bread-maker to the appropriate programme - with a delay if you wish & your machine is able to.
- Use oven gloves to remove the pan. Tip out the loaf and allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Tips
- You can try different proportions of wholemeal to white flour- but make sure it's strong, I prefer Canadian.
- You can experiment with a variety of olive types according to your taste.
- You don't have to use spring water if you're happy with your tap-water.
