LEMON-THYME BREAD

Lemon and thyme go together like milk and cookies. Fresh thyme is best, but if you must use dried, reduce the amount to 1 tablespoon and crush it between your fingers before adding it to the batter. -Cathy Tang, Redmond, Washington

French Bread with Kalamata Olives and Thyme image

Categories     Bread     Olive     Bake     Thyme     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 2 small loaves

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons butter
2 teaspoons sugar
1 cup water, room temperature
2 teaspoons active dry yeast (for do-ahead version) or quick-rising dry yeast (for same-day version)
3/4 cup chopped pitted Kalamata olives or other brine-cured black olives (about 4 ounces pitted)
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons salt
4 cups (or more) all purpose flour
Olive oil
1 egg white, beaten to blend

Steps:

  • Bring milk to simmer in small saucepan. Add butter and sugar; stir until butter melts. Pour mixture into large bowl. Add 1 cup room-temperature water and cool mixture until lukewarm (85°F to 95°F), about 10 minutes. Add yeast; stir to blend. Stir in olives, thyme and salt. Add 1 cup flour. Using wood spoon, stir until flour is incorporated. Add 3 cups flour, 1 cup at a time, and stir vigorously with wood spoon until incorporated after each addition. If necessary, add up to 1/2 cup more flour until dough is smooth and begins to pull away from sides of bowl. Oil large bowl. Transfer dough to bowl; turn to coat with oil. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap. For do-ahead version: Chill dough overnight. For same-day version: Let dough rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes (do not punch down dough).
  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 500°F. Oil large baking sheet. Turn dough out onto floured work surface (to avoid deflating, do not punch down dough and do not knead dough). Divide dough into 2 equal pieces. Gently form (do not knead) each piece into baguette 15 inches long by 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 inches wide (dough will not be smooth). Transfer baguettes to prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly apart. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise in warm draft-free area until slightly puffed, about 30 minutes for refrigerated dough and 15 minutes for room-temperature dough.
  • Brush top of each loaf lightly with egg white. Generously spray inside of oven with water (about 8 sprays); immediately place loaves in oven. Bake 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 400°F and continue to bake until loaves are deep golden and sound hollow when tapped, about 35 minutes. Cool on rack.

BUTTERMILK QUICK BREAD WITH PARMESAN, OLIVES AND THYME



BUTTERMILK QUICK BREAD WITH PARMESAN, OLIVES AND THYME image

Categories     Cheese     Thyme

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
2 eggs
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/4 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan
1/2 cup green olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and dry mustard in a large bowl. Whisk together eggs, oil and buttermilk in a large glass measuring cup. Pour egg mixture into flour mixture. Add cheese, olives and thyme. Use a rubber spatula to mix until just moistened. Do not over mix. Scrape into prepared pan and bake until golden on top and a toothpick inserted into center of bread comes out dry, about 45 minutes. Let stand in pan on wire rack for 15 minutes before turning over, re-inverting and letting cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme and rosemary add a burst of flavor to the bread. Be sure to use fresh herbs for the best results.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: The bread should be baked at a high temperature (400°F) for the first 10 minutes, then reduced to a moderate temperature (350°F) for the remaining baking time. This will help the bread rise and brown properly.
  • Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. If it comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the bread needs to bake for a few minutes longer.
  • Let the Bread Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help the bread set and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

This buttermilk quick bread with parmesan, olives, and thyme is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and flavorful interior and crispy crust, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy bread recipe, give this one a try.
