Instructions
Working time approx. 35 minutes; Total time approx. 35 minutes
similar to Ciabatta – but with Ajvar
Heat the milk until lukewarm. Add a pinch of sugar and crumble in some fresh yeast (the longer the dough has time to rise, the less yeast you can use – 1/4 block of yeast should be sufficient). Mix well and let stand. Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the olive oil by running the oil bottle along the side of the bowl twice, covering the oil with the flour so that the yeast doesn’t come into contact with the fat later. Make a well in the flour and pour in the yeast-milk mixture. Knead the dough well, lightly flour the sides of the bowl, and cover the bowl with a lid or a damp cloth. Then place it in a preheated oven or another warm place to let the dough rest. Mix the ajvar with the harissa – you can use more or less harissa depending on how spicy you want the bread to be. Tip: If you like, you can also press in some garlic. Once the dough has doubled in size, knead it thoroughly again and add the ajvar mixture. Knead it thoroughly again. This part is especially fun because the dough will be so slippery. It helps a little if you flour your hands and add a little more flour to the ajvar mixture. Once everything is well kneaded, shape the dough into long loaves. Line baking sheets with baking paper and place the loaves on them, moistening the surfaces with a little water. Place the baking sheets in the warm oven so the dough can rise a little more. After about 10 minutes, set the oven to about 200°C (fan oven) and bake the loaves for about 15-20 minutes. The bread tastes great as a side dish for a barbecue, as a hearty bread for breakfast, or just as a snack. The orange marbling is a real eye-catcher. Tip: You can vary the dough in any way you like. Then you simply use fried onions, sesame seeds, bacon and olives instead of the ajvar.
