Greek Olive Oil Bread Recipe

This delicious Greek bread with olive oil and oregano is so fragrant and wholesome! This glorious Dutch oven bread possibly the best bread I’ve ever baked. It typically disappears in minutes out of the oven!

It uses a massive amount of flour and produces two huge loaves baked in an outside wood oven. Since I do not have a wood oven outside and could not manage to make so much bread all at once, I tweaked the recipe ingredients and baked it in a dutch oven.

This Greek bread's fantastic flavor is achieved by extra virgin olive oil, honey, and a generous sprinkle of dry oregano before baking.

The texture of this bread is just amazing. It’s not your basic bread, that is for sure. It’s very soft on the inside, with a unique, tender crust that feels almost like a cracker.

When you slice the bread right out of the oven, you can visibly see the olive oil on it. When I first made it, I thought it was not cooked right. I was wrong; it was absolutely perfect. The bread tastes even better the next day.

Add the yeast in half a cup of warm water. Add 1 teaspoon sugar and 5 tablespoons of flour.Stir, cover with a kitchen towel and put the cup aside in a warm place for about 30 minutes.

Using a mixer with a dough hook, slowly mix the olive oil, sea salt, and honey with the flour. Add the yeast mixture, mix and slowly add about one cup of warm water.Knead for 5 min.

Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place (I use my microwave oven) to proof for an hour.

Punch down dough. Generously flour a sheet of parchment paper; transfer the dough to parchment, and quickly shape into a ball with floured hands.

Homemade Greek Olive Bread

Place the dough on the parchment paper and sprinkle the top with a tablespoon of dry oregano and a teaspoon of coarse sea salt. Sprinkle a little flour. Top with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Heat the oven to 450 degrees F. Once the oven is preheated, place a 5-quart Dutch oven with the cover in the oven for 30 minutes before baking.

Carefully remove the Dutch oven from the oven. Uncover the dough and carefully transfer to Dutch oven, with parchment paper beneath (it is easier to transport).

Cover and bake bread for 30 minutes covered, then another 10 to 15 minutes uncovered until dough is baked through and golden brown on top.

I make a loaf of this bread regularly. We enjoy it on its own or dipped in olive oil. It is also perfect for sandwiches, grilled cheese and toasted with a spread of good butter on top.

Eating this bread slice after slice plain, warm and crusty minutes after it comes out from the oven happens a lot, too 🙂

Combine the wet ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment and set aside for 8 minutes or until the yeast is activated. As soon as a foamy cloud appears on top of the liquid the yeast is active. If this does not happen, discard the mixture and start over with a fresh batch of yeast.

Combine all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl and whisk together. Add them to the yeast mixture along with 1.4 cup olive oil and the rosemary. Knead on low speed for 8 minutes.

Place the dough on a clean work surface and cut it into 4 pieces. Stretch each piece of dough as much as possible without tearing. Approximately 10 inches in diameter. Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil on 3 of the dough circles and distribute the olives evenly on top of each piece. Stack the pieces of dough on top of each other and form into a ball by bringing all of the ends towards the center.

Place the dough on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and loosely cover with plastic wrap. Set aside for 20 minutes.

Carefully pour 1 and ½ cups ice-cold water into the cast iron skillet to create steam in the oven. This will create a bakery-style crust on the bread.

Bread has a very special place on the Greek table, whether it’s served for lunch or dinner. We agree that dipping your bread in all the wonderful juices of a Horiatiki Salad or sopping up all the delicious tomato sauce goodness in Fasolakia is absolutely heavenly! Even though we do watch our consumption of bread, (moderation is the key) we occasionally like to splurge and make this super easy Greek Dipping Oil. It’s an effortless appetizer or accompaniment to any meal! We can almost guarantee that the list of ingredients for this easy herbed dipping sauce can be found in your pantry. The key to this tasty recipe is using a quality extra virgin olive oil, as it makes a huge difference in the taste.

There’s no doubt that choosing a quality olive oil makes a difference in the taste of a dish; not all olive oils are created equal. When a bottle is labeled extra virgin olive oil, it means that no chemicals or heat have been added in the process. Extra-virgin is a term used to mean the oil was cold pressed from the first pressing of the olives, which results in the purest, least acidic and–we think–the best tasting olive oil. Here are a few tips for choosing your olive oil:

If you are undecided on the brand of olive oil to use, buy several small tins or bottles to experiment with until you find the one you like best. Isn’t that a tasty, fun way to experiment?! We’d love to hear the kind of olive oil you love using, just comment below.
