Olive Herb Bread

This is seriously the best bread I've ever had. I made it to take to our Thanksgiving dinner this year and it was a huge hit.

Here's what you'll need:
3.25 cups flour
1.25 tsp salt
.75 tbsp instant yeast
1/3 cup pitted kalamata olives (chopped)
1.5 tsp Italian herbs and seasoning
1.5 cups warm water

Directions
1. In a large mixing bowl,  combine all the dry ingredients (flour, salt, yeast, Italian herbs and seasoning). Stir well.
2. Add the olives and warm water to the mix a little at a time. Make sure there is no dry flour left along the sides of the bowl. You may need to add a little extra water to get everything mixed in well.
3. Cover the bowl with a hand towel and leave it alone for about 2 hours.
4. Prepare a cookie sheet for baking by spraying with cooking spray and sprinkling cornmeal where the dough will be.
5. After sitting for 2 hours, your dough will have risen quite a bit. You can now remove it from the bowl and place it on your cookie sheet. Once it is on the cookie sheet, let it rise for another hour and half.
6. Preheat your oven to 425.

7. (Optional) With a sharp knife, make 3 shallow slashes across the top of the dough from one side to the other.
8. Bake for 30 minutes.
