This recipe leaves out a major ingredient--Salt. Also I think it would be much better to either add the cheese & olives to the dry mixture or if adding to the douugh it should be rolled out & spread with the cheese & olives then rolled up & shaped into a loaf. It was very hard to evenly distribute the cheese & olives when adding them to the dough. NO SALT was the main problem though.
