How to Make Mozzarella and Olive Soda Bread:
Pre-heat your oven to 450 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Make sure you arrange the racks in your oven so that you can place the bread in the middle.
In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking soda and salt together. Add the chopped olives, shredded mozzarella and fresh rosemary. The rosemary can be optional if you are unable to find it. You can also use just black olives or just green olives or mix and match.
Stir to incorporate the cheese, olives and rosemary into the flour mixture. Then, create a well in the middle of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Use a spoon to mix until the dough holds together. The dough will be sticky.
Sprinkle the parchment on the sheet pan with flour and transfer the dough onto the floured surface. Lightly flour the top and knead into a 6 inch round loaf. Using a sharp knife or pastry cutter, cut a deep cross into the loaf.
Bake for 15 minutes at 450 degrees on a rack in the middle of the oven. Then lower the temperature to 400 and bake for 20 minutes. Let cool for 15 – 20 minutes on a wire rack before slicing.
