Something different for your Purim seudah.

2 rounded teaspoons active dry yeast

2 cups warm water

½ cup pitted Kalamata olives, chopped

5 cups bread flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary

1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt

In a large bowl, pour warm water over yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Gradually add remaining ingredients, mixing as you go, until dough is smooth and elastic.

Cover dough and let it rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down and repeat, this time for a 45 minutes rise. Form into round shape and place in greased round pan. Cover and let rise for ½ hour.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut a large shallow X on top of loaf. Bake for 1 hour, or until golden.
