Italian Herb Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups rye flour
1 tbsp salt
.25 oz dried active yeast, dissolved in 1 2/3 cups lukewarm water
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
10 sprigs thyme
1 clove garlic, peeled and finely chopped
1.75 oz pitted black olives, chopped
3 None green chilies, deseeded and chopped
2.5 oz sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped

Preparation

In a bowl, mix the flours, salt and yeast water. Add the oil and knead with the dough hook of a mixer, then with hands, into a soft dough. Place in a large, clean bowl, cover with a tea towel and allow to rest in a warm place for 2 hours.
On a lightly floured surface, carefully knead the parsley, thyme, garlic, olives, chilies and tomatoes into the dough. Place in a 9 inch diameter bread-proofing basket, cover and allow to rest for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F. Place the dough on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake for 35-40 mins, until a skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
