Instructions
Bread
- Lightly grease a loaf tin with oil spray. In a bowl, combine water and yeast. Leave for 5 minutes to activate. In a large bowl, place bread mix, tomatoes, oil, rosemary and three quarters of the olives. Add the yeast mix and stir until smooth.
- Spoon mixture into the prepared tin. Place a lightly greased plastic bag over the dough and leave to rise in a warm place for about 40-45 minutes. The dough is ready when it springs back when touched.
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Place 2 cups of water in an ovenproof dish on a rack at the bottom of the oven (see tip). Sprinkle loaf with parmesan and remaining olives. Spray with oil. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes.
- Once the loaf is baked, remove from the tin and leave to cool before slicing. Arrange bread slices on a board with the dips on the side, plus watercress and rocket drizzled with balsamic vinegar.
Broad bean and mint dip
- Place broad beans and garlic in a bowl and crush with a potato masher. Add cottage cheese, feta, vinegar, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and mint. Roughly mix.
- Transfer dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with remaining oil, lemon zest and pepper. Chill before serving.
Roasted capsicum dip
- In a blender, process capsicums, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, basil, oregano, cottage cheese and lemon juice.
- Transfer dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with basil and black pepper. Chill before serving.
HFG tip
Baking bread with water in the oven creates steam, which helps form a good crust.
The bread is best eaten fresh on the day it is made.
The dips can be made in advance and kept chilled, covered in the fridge.
