OLIVE BREAD (FOR THE BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• First prepare the onion. Sprinkle the slices with salt and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Then rinse and squeeze to drain. The onion will be softer and not as sharp tasting. Finely chop, you should have around 2 tablespoons.
• Pit the olives with a sharp knife and roughly chop.
• Add the olives, chopped onion, oregano, garlic and tomato paste together and grind in a little black pepper to taste.
• Set the bread machine on the basic cycle which is around 3 hours.
• Add the remaining ingredients into the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer, (mine is liquid first then solid) and then add the olive mixture at the beep for extras.
• Bake with a medium crust or dark if you like it that way.
• This bread is wonderful with a Greek salad or spread with tarama or eggplant dip.

• Place the ingredients, except olives, in the bread pan in the order recommended by your machine's manufacturer.
• Process on the appropriate cycle.
• Add olives at the raisin/nut signal or 5 to 10 minutes before last kneading cycle ends.
• I prefer to make it with the dough cycle; shape it in 2 loaves and let is rise for 30 minutes.
• Bake in a pre heated375* oven for 30 minutes.
• Option:.
• Add 1 1/2 cup old or sharp shredded cheddar cheese with the flour for a Cheese Olive Bread; fantastic.

• For my bread to rise, I heat 2 cups of water in microwave for 5 minutes; this creates steam. Leave water in microwave. Sit your bread in microwave OFF for 30 minutes.Your bread will rise really nice.
