Mix the warm water with the olive oil, honey and yeast in a large mixing bowl.

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, salt and Italian seasoning until combined.

Add the flour mixture, olives and minced garlic to the yeast mixture. Mix everything together until well combined.

Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and set aside to rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Oil a 10 or 12 inch cast iron skillet and transfer the dough to the skillet.

Cover with a kitchen towel and set aside to rise for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 200C / 400F.

You can drizzle a little olive oil over the top of the dough and sprinkle with more salt and Italian seasoning. Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown.

If the bread starts to get too dark too quickly, I like to put aluminum foil over the top of it for the last 10-15 minutes of the baking time.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the skillet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a cutting board to continue cooling.

Once cooled, slice and serve!
