How I make it

Dough

  1. In a bowl, mix the yeast, water, olives, sugar and chives.

  2. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, salt and cheese.

  3. Combine the two mixtures into a uniform dough and knead for 7 minutes, until elastic.

  4. Shape the dough into 2-inch (5 cm) balls and arrange them on a floured baking sheet.

  5. Let rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled.

Baking

  1. Preheat the oven to 480°F (250°C) and put a pan of boiling water on the oven floor.

  2. Score each ball with a serrated knife, no deeper than ½ inch (1 cm), so the steam can escape.

  3. Bake for 13 minutes, then lower the oven to 340°F (170°C) and bake 30 minutes more, until golden and a toothpick comes out dry.

  4. Serve with olive oil, tapenade and cheeses.
