Mediterranean style bread - Grumpy-grandma's recipe

Try this for a change, it's easy to make and great for mopping up juices from any Mediterranean dish or just on it's own.

18 ounces of strong white bread flour 1 small red onion chopped
1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt 10 pitted black olives - halved
sachet (7g) dried yeast 3 sun dried tomatoes in oil - chopped
1 and 1/2 tablespoons olive oil 4 0z feta cheese - cut into small cubes
10 fluid ounces of hand hot water 1 red & 1 green medium chilli finely chopped

Fry the chopped onion in a small amount of olive oil until soft then set aside to cool. Meanwhile, halve the olives, cut the sun dried tomatoes into fairly small pieces and cube the feta cheese. Remove the seeds from the chillies and chop them finely.
Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl and mix in the sachet of yeast. Add the onion, olives, cheese, tomatoes and chillies then mix to a soft dough with the olive oil and water.
Turn out onto a floured surface and knead lightly for about five minutes. Divide into two and shape into two oval oblong loaves. Slash the tops diagonally and put on a baking tray in a warm place covered with a clean tea towel for an hour and a half until doubled in size. While loaves are rising heat the oven to 230 degrees centigrade then bake the loaves for 35 - 40 minutes until they sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Leave to cool (if you can!).
The loaves freeze well too.
Enjoy!
