I love this recipe and have made it several times!
I make it the night before and cold ferment it in the fridge. I fold it every few hours or whenever I think to to create lovely air pockets like a traditional sourdough has. I also press my fingers into it and drizzle olive oil over before baking so the oil pools down into the dimples.
It’s delicious!
Although, I do find that my olives tend to ‘pop out’! And fall off once baked. I think the next time I make it I might attempt to incorporate the olives into the dough itself .

I made this yesterday and I never make bread! It was so easy and so scrumptious. I think my friends were all surprised that I actually made something that worked out 😉 I had it with some truffle oil and let me tell you.... It was delish
