Anchovy, caper and Olive Bread

The smell of fresh bread baking in an oven is one of those simple irresistible smells.  This is a simple bread recipe which can then have almost anything added to it.  I find that by adding the bicarb of soda the bread seems to be softer and lasts longer.

Ingredients
500g white bread flour
1 tsp (5ml) salt
1/2 tsp (2,5ml) sugar
1/2 tsp (2,5ml) Bicarbonate of soda
1 sachet dry instant yeast granules
3 Tbls (45ml) Olive oil
200ml Luke warm water
10 Anchovy fillets, broken up
1 Tbls (15ml) capers
1/2 cup olives, pip-less, and sliced
Method
* Sieve the flour, salt, sugar, bicarb of soda and yeast into a mixing bowl
* Make a well in the center and add the olive oil, olives, anchovies and capers
* Mix on low speed with a dough hook, or knead by hand.
* whilst kneading, slowly add in the water.
* Knead for about 10 minutes.
* Cover top of bowl with some glad wrap and a kitchen towel.
* Leave to rise till doubled in size in a warmish spot (about 45 minutes)
* Knock back down, knead again for a few minutes.
* shape into the shape you wish, or put into a floured pan, or a large ceramic pot.
* Leave to rise until doubled again.
To Top (optional)
* I like to sprinkle things on top at this stage, like maldon salt, or feta, or more olives.
* Bake for about 50 minutes in a 190 degree C oven
