Ingredients
130g + 370g Finest strong white flour
1g + 6g Sachet dried fast action yeast
6g Fine sea salt
70ml+300ml Water
100g Black olives, pitted and chopped
You Will Also Need
Baking sheet, damp tea towel, small container with lid, wire rack and oiled bowl/tub
Method
1. Firstly make your overnight mix (biga).
Put 130g flour, 1g yeast and 70ml water into a bowl.
Mix the ingredients together to form a rough dough.
Place in a small container with a lid and leave overnight (12 hours).
2. The next day, put the remaining 370g flour and 6g yeast in a large mixing bowl, add 300ml water, the overnight mix (biga) and salt. Bring together to a dough and knead in the bowl until you get a silky, developed soft dough. Briefly fold in the chopped olives with a wet hand. Cover with a damp tea towel in a lightly oiled bowl/tub and leave to rise for 1 hour.
3. After 1 hour, fold the dough gently over itself in the bowl from the edges, bringing the dough into the middle with oiled hands. Fold, turning the bowl, until you've made your way around. Cover again for another 1 hour. Repeat this process once more, so the dough has proved for 3 hours in total, and been folded gently twice.
4. Turn out onto a well floured worksurface, roughly shape into a rectangle then cut the dough in half to look like two 'slippers'. Flip the dough so it's flour side up and transfer to a parchment lined baking tray.
Cover (as before) and leave to rest for 20 mins.
5. Heat the oven to 240°C / fan 220°C / gas 9.
Slide the baking tray into the oven and bake for 20-25 mins until golden brown and crisp.
Cool on a wire rack before slicing.

excellent flour for sourdough
I buy this flour regularly and in bulk and its reliable and delicious. I find my sourdough fermentation a little quicker with it and because it is so strong (high protein content) it holds its shape exceptionally well. Not only that the flour tastes good and produces a nice chewy crust. It is my favourite bread flour.
best flour for bread
I use this every time for my sourdough loaves and they always turn out great. Wish ocado stocked it in larger volumes like a 5kg bag.
Perfect
Made multiple loafs and cookies with this and it has never failed me!
Do not buy
Ive been making sourdough for about 1 year now and settled for the best flour which is Dove organic although a bit expensive so I thought Id give this one a try. Flat loaf, sticky dough and not that great to be honest.
great bake
This gorgeous flour makes really good bread flavoursome and excellent texture
Reliably great
Used this for years, but recently strayed and tried another brand. 1st bag made great bread, 2nd bag resulted in very ordinary loaves that never quite behaved. Returned to Marriages and my sourdough today was perfect. If I used instagram I would be proudly posting photos. I wont be straying again.
