I was scrounging for a recipe for a rustic style Greek Olive bread, and ran across this recipe. Sounds like an excellent combination, but does this look extremely dry to the folks here, from a hydration standpoint?
450g/1lb flour 100g/4oz sundried tomatoes 100g/4oz black olives, halved 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1 clove garlic, crushed 1 teaspoon onion, diced 25g/1oz yeast 300ml/10oz warm waterShould I be considering the olives and tomatoes as part of the dry ingredients? Or only as add-ins, that do not affect the hydration?
300ml/450g is 67%, and probably fine.But 300ml/(450+100+100)g is only 46%!
Thoughts, explanations for a newbie?
