Grate the cheese and chop the olives.
 
Add flour, yeast, salt ( remaining ½ tspn) and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
Add the egg, yogurt, cheese, olive and cooled spinach mix to the dry flour mix.
 
Mix well
 
Next add in the warm water slowly, combining all the dough to a sticky wet consistency (IF it is not too sticky add a little more water, or if it is getting too sticky hold back on some of the water).

Shape into a loaf shape (add some dry flour to your hands if need be), and  pop it in to a pre-greased bread tin. Cover with cling film and leave it to rise for couple of hours in a warm place/ proving drawer or until doubled in size.

Bake at gas mark 4 for 30-40 minutes or until golden-brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped on the underside.
Remove from tin and place on cooling rack for 5-10 minutes. Cut slices and enjoy warm with butter.
 
Top Tip:
For best results, spray or sprinkle a little water 20-25 minutes into baking for a nice crust.
