Make sure the dough has been out of the fridge for 15 minutes.

Throw some flour on the wooden board/bench and spread it using the palm of your hand and place the dough on top.

Spread the dough with the rolling pin making sure it is not too flat or too thin.

Place half of the olives on top, pressing them into the dough at least 4cm apart from one another.

Now, roll the dough with your hands and try to cover all of the olives with the dough.

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.

Add the rest of the olives by pressing them into the dough and covering them once again.

Use the rolling pin to gently press the olives further into the dough. It’s OK if you can still see a couple of the olives at the top.

Line the pizza tray with baking paper and place the ball of dough on top.

Now, with a sharp knife, make a slit on the right hand side of the ball of dough. It should open slightly but make sure you don’t cut all the way down!

Place the tray in the oven for at least one hour.

Once it has browned on top and cooked through, leave the bread to rest for between 15-20 minutes.

E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate….Enjoy!
