Ingredients

  • 3 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup whole wheat or all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 ½ cup warm water 120°F to 130°F
  • ¼ cup chopped pitted kalamata olives
  • ¼ cup chopped roasted red sweet pepper
  • 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary or thyme leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, stir together 2 cups of the all-purpose flour, the whole wheat flour, 1 ½ tsp. of the salt, and the yeast.
  • Stir in the warm water until the mixture is moistened (the dough will be sticky and soft).
  • Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap; let rest at room temperature 2 hours.
  • Lightly grease a 12-inch cast-iron skillet.
  • Using a fork, stir the remaining 1 cup of all-purpose flour into the dough. Gather dough with your hands and spread slightly in a prepared skillet.
  • Cover loosely with lightly greased plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature until puffy (1 ½ to 2 hours).
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Sprinkle dough with olives, roasted pepper, rosemary, and garlic. Drizzle with 1 Tbsp. of the oil and sprinkle with the remaining ¼ tsp. salt.
  • Place the cast iron skillet on a stove burner and cook over medium-high heat for 3 minutes.
  • Transfer to oven and bake for 30 minutes or until golden.
  • Cool slightly in a skillet on a wire rack. Drizzle with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Serve warm.
