• Remove olives, temporarily, to your serving plate.
• Add a bit more olive oil to pan, if needed.
• Place one slice bread in pan, cover with olives, then with cheese slices, and lastly the other slice of bread.
• Cook over medium heat until the bread is browned and crispy, pressing down with spatula.
• Turn and brown on other side, until crispy brown and the cheese is all melty and just starting to ooze out onto the pan.

OLIVE & CHEESE TWISTY BREAD

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius.
• Dissolve the sugar in the water in a large measuring cup. Add the yeast & stir until combined. Leave until the yeast is frothy (about 10-15 minutes).
• Grate the cheese & drain the olives - put to one side.
• Put the flour & salt into a large bowl.
• Add the yeast mixture & olive oil. Stir until well combined.
• Tip the dough onto a lightly floured bench & knead for 5-10 mintues, or until the dough is elastic & smooth.
• Divide the dough into two equal parts.
• Roll the first part out into a long rectangle, approximately 6in by 14in. Thickness of the dough doesn't matter.
• Evenly scatter the grated cheese & half of the crushed garlic over the dough, gently press the cheese down, and fold the short end (at each end) in over the cheese (approx 1 inch).
• Start rolling the long side of the dough over swiss roll style, the aim is to end up with a long sausage with the filling fully contained within it. Gently press the seam to flatten & turn over to rest seam side down.
• Repeat with the remaining dough, this time using the olives & half of the crushed garlic.
• Place the two sausages side by side, seam side down, and weave them over each other creating a spiral/braid.
• Place onto a baking paper lined sheet & cover with a clean dry cloth. Leave until doubled in size (about 1 hour or so).
• Bake in the oven for about 40 minutes, or until golden on top.
