Yeast-free bread "Eliopita" with onions and olives topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp. l. olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 4 cups sifted wheat flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp finely chopped thyme
- 1 cup chopped pitted olives
- Milk for greasing
Preparation:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan and add the onion. Lightly brown it, but do not let it caramelize completely. Let it cool.
In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the sautéed onion to the dry ingredients. Then add the water, olive oil, thyme, and olives.
Mix thoroughly until a dough forms. Transfer to a floured board and knead until a soft, smooth dough forms, about 5-8 minutes. Cover with a towel and let rest for about 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 205°C.
Form the dough into a large ball and place it in a greased loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour, until the bread is golden brown. When the bread is 10 minutes from done, lightly brush the surface with milk for a shiny finish. Remove the bread from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
