🎉Happy Drizzles Fri-yeah! Sample an easy-to-make Olive Bread, made with Drizzles' Kalamata EVOO through the weekend while samples last.
Easy Olive Bread
Ingredients
• 3 1/4 cups bread or AP flour, plus more as needed for shaping and baking sheet
• 2 teaspoons instant or active dry yeast
• 2 teaspoons coarse sea salt (if using table salt, use only 1 1/2 teaspoons)
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 heaping cup roughly chopped olives (green, Kalamata, or black as desired)
• 2 tablespoons Drizzles Kalamata Olive Oil
• 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
• Optional: cornmeal for dusting pan
Instructions
• In a large un-greased mixing bowl, whisk the flour, yeast, salt, oregano, and garlic powder together. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, mix in the olives. Pour in the water and Oregano Olive Oil and gently mix together. The dough will seem dry and shaggy, but keep working it until all the flour is moistened. If needed, use your hands to work the dough ingredients together. The dough will be sticky. Shape into a ball in the bowl as best you can. This dough is too sticky for a stand mixer.
• Keeping the dough in the bowl, cover the dough tightly with plastic wrap and set on the counter at room temperature. Allow to rise for 2-3 hours. The dough will just about double in size, stick to the sides of the bowl, and have a lot of air bubbles.
• Lightly dust parchment paper or silpat with flour and/or cornmeal. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface. Using generously floured hands, shape into a ball as best you can. Dough is very sticky. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Loosely cover and allow dough to rest for 45 minutes. You will bake the dough on this prepared baking sheet.
• During this 45 minutes, preheat the oven to 425 degrees
• When ready to bake, using a very sharp knife, score the dough with a slash or an X, about 1/2 inch deep. If the shaped loaf flattened out during the 45 minutes, use floured hands to reshape into a ball.
• Place the shaped and scored dough (on the flour/cornmeal dusted pan) in the preheated oven on the center rack. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. How to test for doneness—give the warm loaf a light tap. If it sounds hollow, it’s done. For a more accurate test, the bread is done when the center of the loaf is 195 degrees on an instant read thermometer.
• Remove the bread from the oven and allow to cool for at least 10-20 minutes before slicing and serving. Store leftovers loosely covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
