White Bread with Olives or Sundried Tomatoes

Finely dice olives or sundried tomatoes, depending on the recipe.

In a large bowl mix together Mevalia Bread mix, salt and yeast. Add oil and the water and whisk with an electric mixer with beaters for 2 minutes.

Add the olives or sundried tomatoes and oregano.

Grease a 1lb loaf tin or a 20cm square tin with oil. Place the dough into the tin and flatten with the back of a spoon, wetted, cover with oiled cling film.

Let the dough rise in a warm place for 30–45 minutes, until it reaches the top of the loaf tin or has doubled in size.

Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C Fan/ Gas Mark 6. When proved brush with oil and place in preheated oven. Bake for 30–35 minutes for bread in a loaf tin, 25 minutes for flatbread. Remove the bread from the oven and turn out from tin and place on a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing. USEFUL TIPS For that homemade look, sprinkle a dusting of the Mevalia Bread Mix over the cooked bread as you serve.
