Crusty

In the standup mixer or large bowl add the lukewarm water and sprinkle the yeast on top, let sit 5-10 minutes then stir to combine. Add the flour, salt and olive oil. Knead on speed #1 until just combined, add the chopped olives.

Place the dough on a lightly floured flat surface and knead a few times to form a ball, place in a lightly oiled bowl, roll the dough to cover lightly with the oil, cover the bowl and let rise in a warm draft free area approximately 2 hours or doubled in bulk.

Place the dough on a lightly floured flat surface and knead a few times, roughly flatten the dough then fold into the desired shape, sprinkle with flour (rice, semolina or bread/all purpose). Cover the dough and let rise in a warm draft free area. Pre-heat the oven.

Score the dough, the bread can be baked directly on the cookie sheet, on a pizza stone or place in a dutch oven cover and bake. If using a pizza stone or cookie sheet, place an empty cake pan on the bottom of the oven while the oven is pre-heating.

Easy Olive Bread Recipe (no Knead)

Place the bread in the oven, pour a cup of boiling water into the cake pan, and bake. The bread can also be baked in a dutch oven (no knead to pre-heat it).

This recipe is specific to either all-purpose or bread flour. You can actually use either one and get very similar results. I usually reach for the bread flour, it has a higher protein percentage which means that it has more gluten in it, the dough will be more elastic and light, and will have a chewier and airy texture when baked.

There are a couple of ways to get a crusty crust, one is to bake the bread on a pre-heated pizza stone or place an upside down cookie sheet in the oven while pre-heated and two – add steam to the oven, the easiest way is to place an empty pan in the oven while pre-heating and after you have place the bread on the stone or cookie sheet, add a cup of boiling water to the pan, immediately close the oven and let the baking begin.

Of course if you decide to bake your bread in a dutch oven there is no need to add a pan with water. There is also no need to pre-heat your dutch oven while the oven is pre-heating!

If you haven’t cut your loaf yet, you can keep it on your counter at room temperature untouched. Once sliced, to avoid moisture loss and having your bread becoming stale quickly, wrap in plastic wrap or an airtight container and keep at room temperature for up to 4 days. Never refrigerate the bread it will dry it out.

Freezing homemade bread is great if you’ve made an extra loaf or if you have leftovers. Once completely cooled, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer safe bag for up to 6 months.

Test your yeast prior to using it. If it is not active, discard and use fresh. To test it, allow it to proof, as directed in the recipe. If it doesn’t become foamy it means it is no longer alive and needs to be swapped for fresh yeast.

But when I do make bread I always ask myself “why don’t I do this more often”? It is quite easy, not too much work especially if you use a machine with a hook attachment. Which I must say is what I always fall back on these days.

Olive & Onion Quick Bread Recipe: How To Make It

Olive bread, sometimes referred to as olive loaf (not to be confused with the cold cut version studded with olives), is a bread where the loaf of bread is laced with whole or chopped olives. This ensures a quintessential olive artisan bread flavor.

From my research, the olive loaf recipe seems to have originated in the Mediterranean, mostly in Italian and Greek cultures. And it makes sense since olives are such a staple ingredient in this region. Many times, you will find artisan bread makers with a version of olive bread in their shops. But today, it can easily be made in your home kitchen!

PRO TIP: Warm water is very important to activate the yeast. Though you might ask, what is the exact temperature you are referring to when you say, “lukewarm water”?
