kateq from annapolis, md

The only drawback to this quite delicious bread is its color--the black olives give the dough a less than beautiful grayish hue. This recipe makes great rolls or a few loaves--when baking it in loaves, I use bannetons. I have found a slightly higher oven temperature works well for loaves. The name "cheeks" is apt-- while there's good chew, there's also a very pleasing softness to these rolls/loaves.
