Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1 Place the green beans into a large pot, and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt to taste, and put the lid on the pot.

When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle a little flour over the dough and cover it with a dry cloth. Let it rise until doubled in size.
4. 4 Put the dough back onto a lightly floured work surface and punch out the air. Divide the dough in half and knead each piece for 2 to 3 minutes. Shape each piece into a tight oval loaf. Sprinkle two sheet pans with corn meal. Roll and stretch the two loaves until they are 15x12-inch ovals. Dust the tops of the loaves with flour. Cover with a dry cloth and let them rise in a warm place until doubled in size. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
