2 cup of stone ground white bread flour or all-purpose flour
1 sachet of yeast

1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of Italian herbs
1/4 teaspoon of sea salt
100 grams of pitted olives of choice

Directions:

Place in a bowl covered with a cloth. Leave in a warm area to rise for about 1 hour.
Once your dough has risen. Oil your hands and mix the olives and fresh rosemary into the dough by folding them in.
