No Knead Mediterranean Bread

Homesteading Dreams
Easy, no-knead recipe for delicious Mediterranean bread, filled with olives, sun dried tomatoes, Parmesan cheese and Italian herbs.
Servings 2 large loaves

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups water
  • 1 Tbsp. yeast
  • 6 cups all-purpose unbleached flour
  • 1 Tbsp. salt
  • 1 cup chopped Kalamata olives
  • 1 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes
  • 1 7 oz. package shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 Tbsp. dried basil
  • 1 Tbsp. dried oregano
  • 1 tsp. dried red pepper flakes optional - can be a little spicy
  • 2 tsp. powdered garlic

Instructions
 

  • Mix all the ingredients in a large container that has a cover. The dough will expand, so chose something large - a stockpot works well.
  • Once the dough is mixed well, cover and place in the refrigerator over night.
  • The next day, pull the dough out of the fridge and form into 2 loaves.
  • Place loaves on a greased cookie sheet.
  • Let rest for at least 30 minutes.
  • With a sharp knife, make 3-4 slashes across the top of each loaf, about 1/2 inch deep.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees and place a pan of warm water on the lower rack while heating.
  • When oven is up to temperature, place the bread in the oven.
  • Bake 35 minutes.
  • Let cool. Slice and serve.
