Heat water to below boiling level. Add a pinch of sugar and add the yeast. Stir once to dissolve. In about 5 minutes you would see light foam beginning to appear on the surface.

Take a large mixing bowl. Sieve in flour and salt. Add warm water, olive oil, and the yeast mixture. Mix the dough well, adding more water as required.

Place the ball of dough in a large, lightly oiled bowl and cover with a cloth. Leave the dough to rise for 1.5 hours.

Wash, wipe dry and pit the cherries. Slice into half and keep in olive oil. Wash, dry and mince the rosemary and sage leaves.

Preheat the oven. Make holes on the surface of the dough, add rosemary or sage, olive oil, and cherries.

Bake for 10 minutes at 250C, then reduce temperature to 190C and bake for 20 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool.
