Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Heat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius.
  2. Dissolve the sugar in the water in a large measuring cup. Add the yeast & stir until combined. Leave until the yeast is frothy (about 10-15 minutes).
  3. Grate the cheese & drain the olives - put to one side.
  4. Put the flour & salt into a large bowl.
  5. Add the yeast mixture & olive oil. Stir until well combined.
  6. Tip the dough onto a lightly floured bench & knead for 5-10 mintues, or until the dough is elastic & smooth.
  7. Divide the dough into two equal parts.
  8. Roll the first part out into a long rectangle, approximately 6in by 14in. Thickness of the dough doesn't matter.
  9. Evenly scatter the grated cheese & half of the crushed garlic over the dough, gently press the cheese down, and fold the short end (at each end) in over the cheese (approx 1 inch).
  10. Start rolling the long side of the dough over swiss roll style, the aim is to end up with a long sausage with the filling fully contained within it. Gently press the seam to flatten & turn over to rest seam side down.
  11. Repeat with the remaining dough, this time using the olives & half of the crushed garlic.
  12. Place the two sausages side by side, seam side down, and weave them over each other creating a spiral/braid.
  13. Place onto a baking paper lined sheet & cover with a clean dry cloth. Leave until doubled in size (about 1 hour or so).
  14. Bake in the oven for about 40 minutes, or until golden on top.
