Preparation Time

Baking Time
20-25 mins
Makes 2 Babkas

Ingredients
130g + 370g Finest strong white flour
1g + 6g Sachet dried fast action yeast
6g Fine sea salt
70ml+300ml Water
100g Black olives, pitted and chopped

You Will Also Need
Baking sheet, damp tea towel, small container with lid, wire rack and oiled bowl/tub

Method
1. Firstly make your overnight mix (biga).
Put 130g flour, 1g yeast and 70ml water into a bowl.
Mix the ingredients together to form a rough dough.
Place in a small container with a lid and leave overnight (12 hours).
2. The next day, put the remaining 370g flour and 6g yeast in a large mixing bowl, add 300ml water, the overnight mix (biga) and salt. Bring together to a dough and knead in the bowl until you get a silky, developed soft dough. Briefly fold in the chopped olives with a wet hand. Cover with a damp tea towel in a lightly oiled bowl/tub and leave to rise for 1 hour.
3. After 1 hour, fold the dough gently over itself in the bowl from the edges, bringing the dough into the middle with oiled hands. Fold, turning the bowl, until you've made your way around. Cover again for another 1 hour. Repeat this process once more, so the dough has proved for 3 hours in total, and been folded gently twice.
4. Turn out onto a well floured worksurface, roughly shape into a rectangle then cut the dough in half to look like two 'slippers'. Flip the dough so it's flour side up and transfer to a parchment lined baking tray.
Cover (as before) and leave to rest for 20 mins.
5. Heat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas 9.
Slide the baking tray into the oven and bake for 20-25 mins until golden brown and crisp.
Cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Marriage's

Marriage's range includes organic, speciality and stoneground flours.

Marriage's expertly milled flour since 1824
Using proven techniques and traditions passed down through six generations, our family has been milling quality flour in Essex for 200 years. Your partner in the perfect bake, Marriage's was founded by twins William and Henry Marriage. They knew that consistent, quality baking requires the same passion mirrored in our milling process, which blends modern techniques with time-honoured expertise.
Harnessing the prime growing conditions of the Essex area, we've been working closely with local farmers for generations to source only the highest grade wheat. Much of this comes from within 30 miles of Chelmer Mills, including our own family farms. When necessary, we add quality international wheat into our grists.
The result is performance that both professionals and home bakers can rely on, delivering a consistent rise, flavour and texture in every bake.
