The most common question when making homemade bread is what temperature does the water need to be. I tell everyone is the same temp you would make a baby bottle with. Warm enough to be comforting, but not warm/hot enough that it can’t be swallowed.
This bread is super savory with two types of olives and a sprinkling of salt on the top. And let’s not forget the yummy drizzle of extra virgin olive oil!
I like to serve this bread any season. It’s obviously great served along side a comforting hot pasta meal in the winter. However, it’s equally as tasty along side a light salad during the spring or summer.
[yumprint-recipe id=’82’]If you are not a fan of olives you can most definitely omit them from the recipe. The bread won’t be altered one bit.
If you have a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment it makes it a whole lot easier, but don’t underestimate the power of kneading by hand. It’s a wonderful stress and frustration reliever! I used two pie plates to create two separate loaves that could be put at either end of the table for easy access. You can also put the entire recipe into a standard baking sheet (that has sides) and bake it for the same amount of time.

Love your bread! I could eat several large pieces of it as soon as it comes from the oven and call it fancy lunch. Cannot beat good focaccia, especially with the olives:)
Thanks! It is sooo yummy, the olives perfect the taste 😉

I believe that this bread is ideal to eat on the cold winter days with a hot chocolate, it looks quite appetizing.
