Best 7 Baked Cheddar Garlic Olive Pastries Recipes

OLIVE BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix salt and flour and set aside.
• Add water to a medium bowl, stir in sugar until dissolved and add yeast, let the mixture sit for 5-7 minutes for the yeast to bloom. The water should be tap warm, not hot.
• Give the yeast mixture a stir and add it to the flour mixture, knead by hand or using a mixer. The dough will be a little sticky, but it should come off the walls of the bowl. If its still very, very sticky add ½ cup of flour. Knead until all flour is well combined, about 7-10 minutes. Cover the dough with a dry, clean kitchen towel, put it in a warm place and let it rise for 1-2 hours.
• To speed this process, I usually turn the oven to 300F and place the bowl on top of the stove or close to the stove, since its warmer.
• Once the dough tripled in size, sprinkle some flour on a flat surface and knead it for 1 minutes. Let it rest on the working surface for 10-15 minutes and using a rolling pin dusted with flour roll it into a circle or oval shape. The dough must be 1/2 inch thick.
• Spray a loaf pan with baking spray and set aside.
• Top the dough disc with the Black Olive Bruschetta spread 2 inches from the sides, followed by minced garlic and shredded cheddar cheese. Roll the dough into a loaf and transfer to the loaf pan.
• Let it rest for another hour or 1 1/2 hours. The loaf will double in size.
• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Using a kitchen brush, spread the melted butter on top of the loaf and bake for 45 - 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the bread comes out clean.
• Top with the melted mozzarella cheese and broil for 1-2 minutes, until cheese is golden brown and bubbly. Watch it closely not to burn the cheese.
• Remove bread from oven and let it cool in the pan for one hour.
• Remove from pan, slice and enjoy.

BAKED CHEESE OLIVES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• In a small mixing bowl, combine cheese and butter or margarine. Stir flour and cayenne pepper into the cheese and butter mixture. Blend well. Wrap a tablespoon of dough around each green olive. Arrange the wrapped olives on a cookie sheet.
• Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.

HOT CHEESE OLIVES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Beat the butter until creamy in a large mixing bowl, add the cheese and mix well. Stir in the flour, salt, cayenne and the Worcestershire and mix until smooth. Beat the egg with 2 tablespoons cold water. Add to the dough and mix just until incorporated. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Remove the dough and flatten out a piece about the size of a walnut into a thin round. Place an olive on top and shape it around the olive, pinching to repair any breaks. Place it on an ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and olives. Bake until the dough sets, about 15 minutes. Serve hot.

CHEDDAR AND OLIVE BALLS

Steps:

• Allow cheese to sit out until it is at room temperature. In a large bowl, mix together the cheese, butter and paprika using a pastry blender. Gradually mix in flour, first using the pastry blender, then using your hands. Mix until the dough pulls together. It should form a solid ball with a smooth appearance, but have a crumbly texture when pulled apart. If dough appears too dry, add more shredded cheese.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Pinch off a small piece of dough, and cover an olive with it. Roll gently between your palms to smooth and seal the olive inside the ball. Place onto an ungreased cookie sheet and repeat with remaining dough and olives. Place the tray of covered olives into the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm up.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until browned. Serve hot or at room temperature.

BAKED CHEDDAR GARLIC OLIVE PASTRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, blend the flour and paprika; add the cheese and softened butter and blend into a smooth dough.
• Roll 2 teaspoons of dough into a ball, then flatten into a disk.
• Take a single olive and place in the middle of one disk, place another on top of it, run a wet finger around the edge and seal; place wrapped olive on a lightly oil-sprayed baking sheet and repeat until you've used all the dough.
• Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden.
• Serve warm or cooled.
• You can also make these with pieces of dough from refrigerator biscuits, and placing grated cheese inside the wrap with the olive.

BAKED CHEDDAR OLIVES

Steps:

• In a bowl combine the Cheddar and the butter, add the flour and the cayenne, and blend the dough until it is combined well. Drop the dough by tablespoons onto wax paper and wrap or mold each tablespoon around each of the olives, covering each olive completely. Bake the wrapped olives on a baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 400°F. oven for 15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden, and serve them warm.

HOMEMADE GARLIC CHEDDAR CHEESE BREAD

Steps:

• Heat milk and butter to 120°F Combine half of flour, yeast, sugar, salt, milk and butter mixture, cheese, and garlic powder in a large bowl.
• Knead with a mixer fitted with a dough hook at highest speed for 3 minutes.
• Add the rest of the flour and continue kneading for 3 more minutes.
• If the dough seems too sticky, slowly add more flour until the stickiness is corrected.
• Place dough in a greased bowl, and spray the top of the dough with cooking spray.
• Cover and let rise for one hour.
• Punch the dough down and let it rest for 10 minutes.
• Divide dough in half and form one loaf each in two greased 9 x 5 inch standard loaf pans.
• Cover the pans with plastic wrap and allow dough to rise for 45-60 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375°F Bake loaves for 10 minutes; then turn oven down to 350F and bake for 30-35 minutes longer, until the breads are browned.
• Cool in the pans for 5-10 minutes; turn out onto a wire rack and allow to cool for a minimum of 5-10 more minutes so the bread firms up enough to be cut.
