until a ball of dough is formed. When it
comes away from the bowl and onto your
hands easily, transfer to a floured surface.

5-10 minutes.
- Return the dough to the bowl, cover and
leave to prove in a warm place for 30-40
minutes or until it has doubled in size.
Place the dough back on to the floured
surface and knead for a minute or two.
- Divide the dough into eight rounds about
2cm thick and place onto a baking tray.
Top with the herbs and lightly press in
the olives. Drizzle over a little oil and
sprinkle with sea salt.
- Leave to prove in a warm place for around
20 minutes before placing into a preheated
oven set at 200°C/400°F for about
15-20 minutes until golden.
