Rosemary Olive Bread Recipe
Description
This Rosemary Olive Bread Recipe starts by mixing bread flour, salt, instant yeast, and room-temperature water into a dough. Fresh rosemary and chopped Kalamata olives are folded in to introduce herbal and savory olive flavors. The dough undergoes a long proof, 12 to 18 hours at room temperature, developing complexity and a slight tang.
Before baking, the oven and a dutch oven with lid are preheated at 450°F. The dough is shaped, scored with shallow slits, and carefully transferred to the hot dutch oven. Covered, it bakes for 30 minutes to steam the bread, then uncovered for another 10 to 15 minutes to brown and crisp the crust. Cooling on a rack completes the process, revealing a loaf with a crunchy crust and flavorful, olive-speckled crumb.
The bread pairs well with cheeses, soups, or as a savory sandwich base. The slow fermentation enhances texture and flavor depth, making this bread a satisfying artisanal loaf with herbal and olive notes.
