Instructions
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.
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
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.
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.
Cut and Arrange
Cut the dough into strips and stack them on top of each other. Cut the stack into smaller sections and place them in a greased baking pan.
Second Rise
Cover the pan with a cloth and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake the Bread
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Cool and Serve
Allow the bread to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your pull apart olive-infused French bread with Pecorino!
