Best 20 Olive Oil Bread Recipes

OLIVE OIL AND BALSAMIC BREAD DIP

Steps:

• NOTE: Play around a little bit with the olive oil/balsamic vinegar proportions. There should however always be more olive oil than vinegar.
• Slice up bread into appetizer sizes and place on a platter.
• In a pretty shallow bowl or plate, pour the olive oil then drizzle the balsamic vinegar around and across the pool of olive oil.
• Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
• Take a piece of the bread and lightly dunk into the mixture. Take a bite!
• Now the Roman gods are happy and you should be, too!

ROSEMARY OLIVE OIL BREAD

Steps:

• Combine the flour, yeast, and salt in a food processor. Turn on the machine and add the olive oil through the feed tube, followed by 3/4 cup water. Process for about 30 seconds, adding more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture forms a ball and is slightly sticky to the touch.
• Turn the dough onto a floured work surface and, by hand, knead in the rosemary until the dough feels smooth. Put it in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until the dough doubles in size, about 2 hours. (You can cut this rising time as short as 1 hour if you are in a hurry, or you can let the dough rise more slowly, in the refrigerator, for up to 8 hours. At this point, you may also wrap the dough tightly in plastic and freeze for up to a month; defrost in a covered bowl in the refrigerator or at room temperature.)
• Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Shape the dough into a boule, sprinkling with flour as necessary but keeping it to a minimum. Line a colander or large bowl with a well-floured kitchen towel, set the loaf in the bowl, and cover with another towel (this keeps it from spreading too much). Let the dough rise for at least an hour and preferably longer, up to 2 hours.
• About 45 minutes before the dough has risen, heat the oven to 425°F. Put an ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron) on the floor or the lowest rack while the oven heats. If you're using a baking stone, put it on the rack above the skillet while the oven heats; if not, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Once you're ready to bake, slide or turn the dough out onto a lightly floured peel or flexible cutting board, seam side down, or just transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Rub the loaf with a little flour (this helps prevent scorching) and slash the top with a sharp knife or razor blade. Use the peel or cutting board to slide the loaf onto the baking stone or slide the baking sheet into the oven. Partially pull out the rack with the heated skillet and very carefully pour 1 cup hot water into the skillet (it will create a lot of steam). Slide the rack back in and immediately close the oven door
• Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, turning the bread or the baking sheet halfway through, until the crust is golden brown, the bottom sounds hollow when tapped, and the internal temperature reaches 200°F on a quick-read thermometer. If the bread is browning too quickly, lower the temperature to 400°F. Remove and cool on a wire rack.
• Variations:
• Rosemary Olive Oil Bread With Olives or Tomatoes: In Step 2, knead 1 cup halved pitted oil-cured olives, roughly chopped dried tomatoes, or a combination into the dough along with the rosemary.
• Olive Oil Bread With Onions and Mint: A nice combo; you can make this with olives too (see the preceding variation), but omit the rosemary. In Step 2, knead 1 large onion, chopped, into the dough in place of or along with the olives. Add 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint if you like.
• Pancetta and Black Pepper Bread: Rich, savory, and packed with flavor: You can use olive oil here if you'd rather not use the pancetta pan drippings: Omit the rosemary. Chop 1 pound pancetta (or bacon) and cook until it's crisp. Drain the meat and set it aside, reserving 1/3 cup of the rendered fat. If you don't have enough, add olive oil or good-quality lard to make up the balance. Proceed with the recipe, using the reserved fat in place of the oil. In Step 2, knead in the pancetta pieces and 2 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper.

GREEK OLIVE OIL BREAD WITH OLIVES AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine the flour, whole wheat flour, yeast and salt. Add the warm water and the olive oil. Process until it forms somewhat of a dough ball. (If too dry, add some more water and if too wet, add more flour but it should be okay without adding more flour or water).
• Transfer the dough into a large bowl. With floured hands, knead the dough by hand several times. Then incorporate the olives and the rosemary(and the lemon zest if using). This part is a bit messy but keep kneading. The olives and the rosemary will be eventually incorporated.

• Stir the sugar and yeast into the water, and set aside for 10 minutes to dissolve.
• Put the olive oil and salt in a large mixing bowl, and add the yeast mixture.
• Beat in 1-1/2 cups/285 g of the flour, until smooth, along with the herbs.
• Work in the remaining cup/125 g flour, turning it onto the countertop to knead, until you have smooth, springy dough, 10 to 15 minutes. (I found 15 minutes yeilded a much better bread than 10 minutes).
• Cover with a tea towel and set in a warm place to rise to double, about 45 minutes.
• Punch the dough down and shape into a loaf. (I shaped mine into a ball by pressing the dough slightly flat, folding in the corners, pinching them together and then flipping the ball over with the pinched corners on the bottom. I then made three long slices in the top for steam to escape. This is how Laura did it on the show.).
• Let rise again 30 minutes (or not), and bake at 400ºF/200ºC for 25 minutes until done. I brush the loaf with an egg/milk wash before I bake it, but it's not necessary. The wash is 1 yolk beaten with a tablespoon or two of milk. You can also spray the loaf lightly with water, or put a pan of boiling water in the oven to give the bread a crispy crust.
• Let the bread cool a little before slicing to serve.

GLUTEN-FREE PIZZA (HERTZBERG & FRANCOIS OLIVE OIL BREAD)

Steps:

• To make the dough (enough for 8 pizzas) --.
• Use a container (at least 5 quart capacity) you can cover, but is not airtight.
• Mix together all the dry ingredients (rice flour through xantham gum).
• In a separate bowl, mix the liquid ingredients (water through vinegar).
• Gradually mix the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients -- no need to knead -- you can use a spoon, a food processor with dough hook, or a stand mixer with paddle.
• Cover (not airtight) and allow the mixture to rest at room temperature for about 2 hours.
• Can be used at this point after the rest (go to step 9), but it's best after a 24 hour rest; alternately, you can refrigerate it, covered, but not airtight and use over the next 7 days.
• On baking day --.
• Prepare a pizza peel (or a pizza pan, greased cookie sheet or a silicone baking mat), either sprinkled with cornmeal or rice flour or lined with parchment paper.
• In your oven, put the rack in the middle space and put a baking stone on it in the middle space if you have one; otherwise use a cookie sheet, pizza pan, or a silicone mat.
• Thirty minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Wet your hands slightly -- keep your hands moist so you can work with the dough, but not so wet that the dough becomes soggy.
• Take an orange-sized piece of the dough (about 1/2 pound) and quickly shape it into a ball (no gluten, so no stretching).
• Dust as needed to keep it from being sticky, but no so much that you're working lumps of flour into the dough.
• This dough will be sticky, so use a metal dough scraper and be generous in dusting the peel, the roller, the dough, etc.
• Roll out the dough (hands or a rolling pin, but remember, no gluten, so no stretch in this dough) 1/8 - 1/16 inch thich, directly on the pizza peel or silicone mat (or roll out, then transfer to the cookie sheet).
• Add toppings of your choice (you should have them all prepared and ready to go -- the faster this dough gets into the oven, the better the pizza will be).
• Slide the pizza onto the stone or into the oven.
• Check for doneness in 10-12 minutes.
• May need to be turned to brown evenly; may need up to 5 more minutes to complete baking.
• Cool slightly on a rack before serving.
