 JK> That sounds so good :) Any duck sounds good to me (LOL). We have duck here
 JK>  about as often as you mention..

Works, I have about 3/4 cup duck fat now for the next 2-3 months sparing use.
Cooked duck for other recipes as well plus Don had some for dinner.

 
 >> Goose I find is bland and fatty with no special charm.

 JK> Yes, I agree.

I'm sure if that was what a person had, it would tase good enough but frankly,
I like duck better.

 JK> Sounds great. I've started using the bread machine more often over here as
 JK>  well... It's too hot to expend the kind of energy necessary.

Grin, your recipe can be made in dough mode in the machine.  The one above is a
crusty french and you have to put it in bags or it dries out really fast.

 JK> ===Olive Bread===

 JK> 3 cups unbleached bread flour
 JK> 2 teaspoons yeast
 JK> 1 teaspoon sugar
 JK> 1 cup water, lukewarm
 JK> 1 large onion, chopped
 JK> 2 Tablespoons olive oil
 JK> 1 cup large black olives, pitted, and sliced in half

 JK> Put the yeast, the sugar,1 TB of oil and lukewarm water in a large bowl,
 JK> and add 1 cup of the flour. Mix well. Allow to rise to a sponge. Punch the
 JK>  sponge down and add the other two cups of flour. Knead for 10 minutes.
 JK> Let rise until doubled.

 JK> Flatten the dough out with your hands or use a rolling pin to make a long 
 JK> rectangle, about 12" long.

 JK> Saute the onion in the other Tablespoon of olive oil and add the olive
 JK> slices. Let cool a bit and spread on the dough leaving the edges empty.

 JK> Roll the dough up, pinching and pressing it a bit to hold the dough as you
 JK>  roll. Use the heal of your hand to seal the two edges. Let rise again
 JK> about an hour.

 JK> Bake in a preheated 400F oven on an oiled sheet for about a half hour or
 JK> until the loaf makes a hollow sound when you tap on it.

I'd machine it right up to after the first flatten thne take it out and do the
rest the same.

 Lovely stuff!
