I’ve made a lot of bread, but this olive bread? This one’s in a league of its own. It’s crispy, airy, packed with flavor, and dangerously easy to make. If you’ve never baked bread before, this is the recipe that’ll get you hooked. And if you have, prepare to replace your usual loaf with this beauty.
Ingredients:
* Water – 1 cup (220 ml)
* Fresh yeast: ¾ tsp. (3 g) or dry yeast: ½ tsp. (2 g)
* Bread flour – 2 ½ cups (320 g)
* Salt: 1 tsp. (6 g) (adjust to taste)
* Chopped olives – 1½ tbsp. (20 g)
Tools I Used:
Baking pan I used to bake this bread: (I used two of them, one turned upside down and used as cover)
Alternative pan:
* – either two of these, one turned upside down and used as a cover, or one, but covered with aluminum foil for the first bake.
* – same as the previous pan.
This bread is pure Mediterranean magic. The moment they come out of the oven, singing as they cool, you know you’re in for something special. Break one open, smear a little butter, and you’re transported.
Remember, the joy of cooking is in the process as much as in the final product. So, let’s enjoy the process together and make some delicious bread! 🥖

I'm in the US. I like how easy this is to make. I bought myself an electric oven and am excited about cooking more at home.
Hi! Beautiful rolls. What, approximately , was the room temperature when you were making the dough? Thank you!
Thank you for this wonderful recipe! I used large dark green olives from the olive bar (not from the jar). And I used twice the amount shown here. They were so good, I wish I had doubled the recipe to freeze some.They were perfect to serve with Spaghetti Marinara! 🍷🍝 🥖🥗
Yes! Butter❤
Another great recipe 😊🌞
Hi.. From Indonesia here!!
Hello from Poland!!
I followed your recipe from a different video, and the yeast must have been old. It didnt rise, dose dry yeast have a self life?
This is definitely a will-do recipe this weekend. Congratulations for making your recipes so simple to replicate. A zen moment to watch you at work.
Great recipes! My take on it:

I've made a lot of bread, but this olive bread? This one's in a league of its own. It's crispy, airy, packed with flavor, and dangerously easy to make. If you've never baked bread before, this is the recipe that'll get you hooked. And if you have, prepare to replace your usual loaf with this beauty.
Ingredients:
• Water – 1 cup (220 ml)
• Fresh yeast: ¾ tsp. (3 g) or dry yeast: ½ tsp. (2 g)
• Bread flour – 2 ½ cups (320 g)
• Salt: 1 tsp. (6 g) (adjust to taste)
• Chopped olives – 1½ tbsp. (20 g)
Directions
1. Bloom yeast with water.
2. Add dry ingredients (except olives) and mix well. Let rise 30 minutes
3. Add olives to bowl and wet hands and fold dough over itself in all four directions. Then throw dough hard back into bowl, slapping motion. (Lift and slap). Let rise 30 minutes.
4. Repeat Step #4
5. Let rise 1-2 hours until doubled in size
6. Put on floured board and cut into 6 pieces. Slightly flatten each piece into a rectangle and then roll up from short end, then pinch to make a ball, finally rolling on the board to smooth ball shape. Let rest for 10 minutes
7. After 10 minutes, flatten each ball and fold into center to make a ball again, rolling once done to make a sphere. Put on baking tray covered with parchment paper. Cover and let rise 30 minutes.
8. Once balls have risen, sift a thin veil of flour on top and smooth flour with your hand. Cut top of each loaf with a lame.
9. Put a little water into edges of the pan. Cover with another pan and put into preheated oven.
10. Bake at 450F for 20 min.
11. Remove top pan/cover and bake at 390F for 10 more minutes (check color, it may need more time)
12. Remove to drying rack
Hi, from Argentina!
To incorporate the olives more easily, dust them with flour before putting them in the dough. That way they won’t slip out so easily.
Yet another masterpiece, the crunch instantly made me hungry. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
Looks delicious
Wow….yummy ❤❤❤
