- 1 packet instant yeast

- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups warm water
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup pitted black and green olives (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme

- Add the chopped olives and thyme to the dough, kneading for a few more minutes until evenly distributed.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise at room temperature for 45 minutes.
- Shape the risen dough into a loaf and let it proof on a baking tray lined with parchment paper for another 20 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for about 35 minutes until golden brown.
