Herbed Olive Bread Cyprus Style Food
GREEK CYPRUS OLIVE GARLIC BREAD WITH LEMON ZEST (ELIOPSOMI)
Customarily, the bread includes mint, but because that herb doesn't take well to a hot oven, here it is replaced with another of Cyprus's fabulous crops: lemon.

Steps:
- Stir together the water and sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and set aside until bubbly, 15 minutes.
- Place the 3 1/2 cups flour and salt in a large bowl and mix with a fork. Make a well in the center and add the 1/4 cup oil, the zest, garlic, olives, and yeast mixture. Stir together until fairly well mixed; then use your hands to knead the mixture into a crumbly ball.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until it is smooth and elastic and no longer sticky, 10 minutes. Lightly bush the dough with oil, cover it with a cloth, and set it aside in a warm place to rise until doubled in bulk, about 2 hours.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet with oil. Punch down the dough and knead it again for 1 minutes. Pat the dough into a ball and flatten it slightly to make a round about 6 inches in diameter. Place the dough round on the prepared baking sheet and set it aside in a warm place until doubled in bulk again, about 1 1/2 hours.
- When ready to bake the bread, preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Place the bread in the oven and bake until quite golden, 30 minutes. Brush the top and sides of the loaf liberally with oil and continue baking until browned and hollow sounding when tapped, 5 minutes more.
- Remove the bread from the oven and cool on the baking sheet until ready to serve.
- VARIATION: Olive Cheese Bread: Olive Garlic Bread easily turns into another Cypriot loaf, a cheese and olive bread. Omit (or leave in) the garlic and lemon zest and add 1 cup grated cheese, preferably Cypriot haloumi.
- THE NONTRADITIONAL CHOICE:.
- While it is easier to use Kalamata olives (they are readily available and can be bought pitted), traditionally Cypriotic olive breads use only oil-cured or oil-and-salt-brined olives, never those that are cured even partly in vinegar, as Kalamatas are. Cyprus produces both green and black olives, plump to wrinkled, cured in numerous ways. Using Kalamata olives for the olive flatbread, the taste of the bread, while slightly tarter than the traditional, is still excellent.

- In a medium bowl, add all the olive mixture ingredients and toss well. In large measuring cup, add warm water, yeast, sugar and flour. Give it a little stir and leave to proof. In an other large bowl, mix flour with orange zest and salt. Add olive oil, mix well with hands. Stir in olive mixture until well mixed.
- Then pour in orange juice and yeast mixture! Mix until a slightly sticky dough forms! You might need to add a bit more flour if too sticky. Turn dough into floured surface and knead until soft, about 5-6 minutes. Place in bowl cover with plastic wrap and towel and let proof in a warm spot until dough has doubled, about 1 hour.
- Turn dough on floured surface and knead for a few more minutes. Line the large glass bowl with parchment paper. Place dough on parchment paper, cover with towel and let proof for an additional 20 minutes. While dough is proofing, preheat oven to 500F.
- Place cast iron pot with lid into oven so it gets really hot. This is a very import step so the dough expands nicely when baking and you get a nice crisp crust. Once pot is hot, carefully transfer dough with parchment into the hot pot. Place lid back on and bake for 20 minutes.
