I always used kalamata olives as we liked walking round that part of Greece.Why not dry your own tomatoes Mark - and save a load of money. Nigella has a recipe for “moon blush tomatoes”. It’s brilliant. I dry all my surplus ones when they all come at once and then freeze them for adding to pizzas, breads and salads later on.
And I buy big jars of cheap olives in home bargains. They’re good enough for cooking with. Need a bit of tarting up with a bit of lemon zest, garlic and herbs if you want to eat them “fresh”!
The sun dried tomatoes I use are £2.85 for 250g, I use 50g. It is the olives that are dear at £3.20 for 200g. I use 120g. then 50p for the organic flour. So about £3.00 for the ingredients for a 1kg loaf. A bit more for yeast, salt and olive oil. All prices are today's, could be double next week.
