Olive And Parmesan Loaf - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup warm milk
1/4 cup olive oil
3 1/2 tsp active dry yeast (or 1 oz fresh)
4 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp salt
1 1/2 oz grated Parmesan cheese
2 oz sliced pitted black and green olives

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F. Lightly grease a 5x8 inch loaf pan. Combine warm milk and olive oil with 1 cup warm water. Add yeast and stir to combine. Set aside for 5 mins, until foamy.
Sift flour and salt into a large bowl. Add Parmesan and olives. Pour yeast mixture into flour and mix until combined. Transfer to a floured work surface and knead until smooth. Divide dough into 5 pieces and shape into rounds. Arrange in loaf pan, cover with a tea towel and proof until doubled in size (about 30 mins).
Bake for 30-35 mins, until loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Let cool on a wire rack.
