  3. Add eggs, olive oil, vinegar and yeast mixture and beat to combine in mixing bowl or in Thermomix speed 4/15 sec scraping sides down halfway.
  4. Spoon mixture into a 20 x 10cm loaf tin and cover with cling wrap. Allow bread to rise in a warm place for 1 hr until it doubles in size.
  5. Preheat oven to 200C. When oven is ready, drizzle olive oil on dough to create a golden crust when baked.
  6. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until golden and a skewer comes out dry.
  7. Remove from oven and immediately transfer to a wire rack to cool. This helps your crust stay crispy. Cool for at least 2 hrs before slicing.

Rosemary & Olive Bread
  1. Add 2 cups of pitted kalamata olives and 2 tbs of chopped rosemary to dough mixture and mix to combine. Prior to baking sprinkle rosemary and sea salt flakes on loaf and drizzle with olive oil.This loaf requires an extra 5 min baking time due to extra moisture and volume from the olives.
