Prepare the ingredients for the sardine bread.

2

Weigh 500 grams of plain white flour using a scale.

Heat water in a saucepan until warm, about 1-2 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, 1 tablespoon of nutmeg, a pinch of sea salt, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Add 2 sardines to the mixture, adjusting based on preference.

6

Pour in the warm water gradually while mixing with a wooden spoon until a dough forms.

7

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, approximately 10 minutes.

Let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.

9

Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle.

10

Spread the sardine mixture evenly over the dough.

11

Roll the dough tightly into a log and tuck the ends in.

12

Place the rolled dough in a greased loaf pan and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
