1

Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Mix Ingredients

Add olive oil, salt, and flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.

First Rise

Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

5

Prepare the Filling

In a bowl, combine chopped green and black olives, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and grated Pecorino cheese.

Shape the Bread

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle. Spread the olive filling evenly over the dough.
