Description

This simple dough recipe easily rises in thirty minutes and quickly bakes up with a delectable cheesy center made withe Swedish cheese, Västerbottensost.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 150 g (5.3 ounces) grated Västerbottensost
  • 1 envelope dry yeast
  • 0.5 l (17 ounces) water
  • About 80 cl (36 ounces by volume) bread flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2030 cl (6.6 to 10 ounces by volume) pitted Kalamata olives

Instructions

  1. Stir the yeast into warm water until it dissolves. You can use a food processor. Add salt and flour and quickly mix together into a dough. Work the dough for at least 5 minutes. Finish by folding in the chopped olives and Västerbottensost.
  2. Put the oven on at 175 °C (347 °F). Oil a bread baking mold with removable edge (a spring-form pan will work) with oil. Make small balls from the dough and place them close together. This is easier with a little flour on your hands. Leave the bread to rise under a towel for about 30 minutes. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until baked through.
  3. Place the olive bread on a rack to cool.
