Olive Loaf 2

Description

NUMERO TWO. It's delicious insides. Look at all dem juicy olives! Man oh man alive.

I think because of the high olive content, and the need to continually add flour to keep the loaf together, and not sticky, created a slightly denser bread than I had originally hoped for. The crust was beautiful, really rustic and chewy, and the insides were moist, but I wanted my bubbles to be larger. INADEQUATE YEAST FARTS. Next time I might do a slower (colder), longer ferment on my biga and see if it gets me a lighter bread. This one was only a six hour ferment, so, I could see where it might not have been able to hold up to the olives, but I WANTED TO BAKE IT. (it ended up going into the oven at ten pm. I could never be a baker, lmao.)

It held up well overnight, I was afraid the crust would lose it's hard, crisp shell, but everything was just as delicious this morning!

Not even KIDDING, this is stuff that looks like it'd be served at Panera Bread! I am in love with that, and I have a grotesque adoration of olives [I put them in hamburgers, meatloaf, spaghetti, ravioli, ALONE].

I like how solid it looks, though! I mean, it's really cool to get some solid air pockets in the bread, but this way looks like it's sandwich ready. I want Angus roast beef, Havarti, and THIS.

Please. X]
