HOW DO YOU MAKE NO-KNEAD SKILLET OLIVE BREAD?

Start by proofing your yeast in luke warm water. Add one cup of flour, salt and seasonings, slowly mix everything together and add the remaining cups of flour one at a time mixing everything in between. Let the dough rise for an hour in a warm place. Carefully transfer your dough to an oiled cast iron skillet or dutch oven and let it rise again. Before baking drizzle olive oil on top, sprinkle with korse salt, parsley and rosemary. Score the bread and bake for 30 minutes. Let it cool prior to slicing.

Spread it with butter, dip it in Italian olive oil and balsamic vinegar and a glass of wine, serve it as a sandwich or enjoy with soup.

Enjoy!
