OLIVE AND CHEESE LOAF



Olive and Cheese Loaf image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Yield Makes one 8-inch round loaf

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups bread flour, plus more for work surface
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
3/4 teaspoon instant or active-dry yeast
1 3/4 cups 1/2-inch cubes aged Gruyere cheese
1 1/2 cups pitted 1/4-inch-thick slices green Spanish olives
1 1/2 cups cool water (55 to 65 degrees), plus more as needed

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together flour, salt, and yeast; stir in cheese and olives. Add water and, using a wooden spoon or your hand, mix until a wet, sticky dough forms, about 30 seconds, adding additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until dough has doubled in size and surface becomes dotted with bubbles, 12 to 18 hours.
  • Generously flour work surface; scrape dough onto work surface. Lightly flour hands, a bowl scraper, or a spatula and lift edges of dough toward the center. Nudge and tuck edges of dough to make round.
  • Place a piece of parchment paper on work surface and generously dust with flour. Gently place dough on parchment, seam-side down. If dough is tacky, lightly dust top with flour. Cover dough loosely with wax paper and two clean kitchen towels. Let dough stand in a warm, draft-free spot until almost doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.
  • Gently poke dough with your finger; dough should hold the impression. If it springs back, let rise 15 minutes more.
  • Ten minutes before dough has finished rising, preheat oven to 475 degrees on a conventional oven (450 degrees on a convection oven) with a rack in the lower third. Place a covered 3 1/2-quart cast-iron or enameled cast-iron Dutch oven (with plastic handle removed and screw hole plugged with aluminum foil) in center of rack.
  • Using pot holders, carefully remove preheated Dutch oven from oven and uncover. Uncover bread and loosen bottom with a large spatula. With the aid of the parchment paper, invert bread into preheated Dutch oven so that it is seam-side up. Cover Dutch oven and transfer to oven; bake for 25 minutes.
  • Uncover and continue baking until bread is dark brown but not burnt, 15 to 30 minutes more. Using a heatproof spatula or pot holders, gently lift bread from Dutch oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh cheese, olives, and herbs will make a big difference.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking will make the bread tough.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will help the bread to be light and fluffy.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help the bread to rise evenly.
  • Don't overbake the bread. Overbaking will make the bread dry and crumbly.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the bread to hold its shape.

Conclusion:

This cheese and olive loaf is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is also a great way to use up leftover cheese and olives. With its combination of salty cheese, briny olives, and fresh herbs, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a simple yet delicious bread recipe, give this cheese and olive loaf a try. You won't be disappointed!
