| 1. Prepare the BASIC YEAST BREAD DOUGH: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. | 2. Turn out the bread dough onto a lightly oiled work surface; divide in half. | 3. Keep the other half covered. | 4. Divide the one half of dough into 16 equal pieces. Form each piece into a ball. Cover with a towel and let rest 5 minutes. | 5. Flattern each ball of dough to 1/2" thickness. | 6. Place each ball 2" apart on the prepared baking sheets. | 7. Whisk together the two eggs. Brush dough with the beaten eggs. Note: I skipped the egg wash for the test recipe. | 8. OLIVE AND FETA MIXTURE: In a non-reactive mixing bowl combine the kalamata olives, garlic, feta cheese, walnuts, dried fruit and olive oil. | 9. Divide half of the olive mixture into 16 equal portions. Garnish each dough ball with 1 portion of the olive mixture pressing the topping into the dough slightly with the palm of your hand. | 10. Cover with a tea towel; let rise 45 minutes. Repeat with the remaining half of dough. | 11. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place a small ovenproof pan in the oven on the lowest rack. | 12. Sprinkle tops of dough with coarse salt, if desired. Note: I skipped the coarse salt because feta cheese is quite salty. | 13. Place the baking sheet in the oven. Carefully place 4-5 ice cubes in the small ovenproof pan then immediately close the oven door. | 14. Bake the bread 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned. | 15. After removing from the oven, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
