Olive and Parmesan Cob Loaf
Description
The Olive and Parmesan Cob Loaf recipe uses a combination of strong white flour, finely grated Parmesan cheese, brown sugar, yeast, and salt mixed with green or black olives, water, and olive oil. After mixing and kneading, the dough rises in a warm place until doubled. It's then kneaded again, shaped into a dome, and allowed to proof before baking at 200°C. Semolina dusted on top provides texture, while scoring creates an attractive crust.
The baking process at a moderate temperature allows the loaf to develop a golden crust while retaining softness inside. The olives and Parmesan cheese add bursts of savory flavor throughout the bread, making it a tasty accompaniment for meals or a flavorful sandwich base.
