Method

  • step 1

    Put the flour, 1 tsp salt and the yeast in a bowl, add 150ml hand-hot water and 2 tbsp olive oil, then mix everything together using a wooden spoon and then your hands. Tip onto a floured surface and knead until the dough is smooth but not sticky. Put in a bowl and cover, then leave to rise for an hour or until the dough has doubled in size.

  • step 2

    Heat 4 tbsp oil in a large frying pan, add the leeks, stir, then cover and cook very gently for 40-50 minutes, stirring every now and then. You want the leeks to soften completely without turning brown. Season well and stir in the sultanas.

  • step 3

    Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Oil a baking sheet. Knead the dough to knock out any air, then roll and press it out to make a large rectangle. Sprinkle the parmesan over the surface. Spread the leek mixture on top of the parmesan, add the olives to the top (make a pattern if you like) and dot the bay halves over. Drizzle with a little more olive oil. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the bread base is cooked through.
