I don’t buy bread anymore! The new perfect olive bread recipe

I don’t buy bread anymore, and after trying this olive bread you’ll see why. This recipe is incredibly simple to make yet gives you a bakery-style loaf at home. The crust turns golden and crispy, the inside stays soft and airy, and every bite is packed with the rich taste of olives. It’s the kind of bread that makes you want to bake it again the moment you finish the last slice.

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)
* Chopped olives – 2 tbsp. (25 g)

Yes, you got it right, you can make great bread with only 5 ingredients. A gentle process that can be done by anyone it’s all it takes.

Tools I Used:

Baking pan I used to bake this bread: https://amzn.to/41kFPlY (it’s just a 1kg panettone mold, but any deep pot will work just as well)

The aroma fills the kitchen as it bakes, and when you break it open the crackling crust gives way to a soft, springy crumb. The olives bring little bursts of flavor that make each bite unforgettable. Fresh from the oven with just a touch of butter, it’s pure comfort.

*Instructions:*

* Mix water with fresh yeast (or dry yeast) until dissolved.
* Add bread flour and salt, then mix until no dry flour remains. No kneading is needed.
* Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

* Add chopped olives.
* With a wet hand, stretch and fold the four sides of the dough, then fold to the center.
* Use the “lift and slap” technique a few times. Cover and rest for 30 minutes.
* Repeat stretch, fold, and light “lift and slap” once more. Cover and let rise until doubled in size (about 2 hours).
* If you enjoyed this bake, give the video a thumbs up and don’t forget to subscribe for more simple, soul-soothing recipes!

* Sprinkle flour on the work surface.
* Fold the dough in half, gently flatten into a strip, and roll tightly.
* Seal the edge, roll in the opposite direction to form a ball.
* Place into a deep, baking paper-lined pot. Cover with a towel and let rise for 1 hour.

* Lightly flour the top, smooth with your hand, then score with a sharp blade.
* Sprinkle a few drops of water on the sides of the pot to create steam.
* Cover with a lid and bake at 430°F (220°C) for 20 minutes.
* Remove the lid and bake for another 10 minutes until golden and crispy.

* Let the bread sing and crack as it cools.
* Slice or tear it open, spread with butter, and enjoy the soft crumb with bursts of olive flavor.
