Steps:
- Mix the dry ingredients; bread flour, active dry yeast, and kosher salt, in a large mixing bowl.
- Pour in 1 ⅓ cups (316 ml.) lukewarm water.
- Give it a mix using a wooden spoon. At this point, the dough needs to be quite sticky. Stir in the chopped olives and ensure that they are equally distributed throughout the batter. (Alternatively, you can use your clean hands to mix and feel the stickiness.)
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it sit in a warmer part of your house for 18-24 hours.In my tests, I found that the bread baked after 18 hours of rising time was perfect, but the 24-hour one was also good. One important thing to mention here is that at the end of the rising time you might see a thin (kind of hard - for the lack of a better word) layer at the top of the dough. Don't be alarmed by that. In the next step, we will fold that into the dough and since it is a sticky one, the additional rising time will help soften it.
- Lightly flour a piece of parchment paper, gently remove the dough from the bowl, and place it onto the parchment. While removing, you will realize that it is quite sticky. However, if you take your time and gently pull it by folding it onto itself, you will see that it will come out easily without any dough remaining in the bowl. For a visual, be sure to watch the video below.
- Form the dough into a ball tucking the sides of the dough under. Lightly dust it with a little bit of flour, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size. Again, I recommend letting it sit in a warmer part of your house.
- Towards the end of the rising time, place your dutch oven in the oven and pre-heat it to 450 F degrees.
- When ready to bake, carefully take the now-very hot dutch oven out of the oven. Using the edges of the parchment paper place the dough into the dutch oven. Put the lid on and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the lid and continue to bake another 20-30 minutes or until the top is nicely golden brown as you see in the photos.
- At the end of the baking, remove it from the dutch oven, place it onto a cooling rack and let it cool for 30-45 minutes before slicing.

OLIVE CHEDDAR BREAD
Steps:
- In a small bowl, or the bowl of your mixer, mix together the water, yeast and honey. Let sit until it's foamy.
- In your mixer bowl, add 1 1/4 cup of the all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, yeast mixture, milk, olive oil and salt and pepper. Using the paddle attachment, mix well.
- Add the olives and cheddar cheese to the mixer and continue mixing. Switch to the hook attachment.
- Add the remaining all purpose flour and mix for another 4 to 5 minutes, until the dough is nice and firm.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let the dough rise until doubled in size, for about an hour.
- Punch down the dough and place it on a floured surface. Knead it slightly a couple times, then roll it out into a long rectangle.
- Roll up the dough, jelly roll style.
- Place the roll in a greased loaf pan and let rise for another 45 minutes to an hour until it doubles in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375 F degrees.
- Bake the bread for about 40 minutes, or until golden brown. When you tap it, it should sound hollow.
- Cool on a rack.

HOT CHEESE OLIVES
This is classic 1950s cocktail fare that, unlike the savory gelées and boiled ham canapés that are best forgotten, we still want to eat today. Just wrap cocktail olives in a simple Cheddar dough and bake until golden. Martini optional.

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.

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 Fresh Ingredients: Always use fresh and high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
- Activate the Yeast Properly: Ensure the water or milk you use to activate the yeast is warm enough (around 110-115°F/43-46°C) to activate the yeast effectively.
- Knead the Dough Properly: Kneading the dough helps develop its gluten, resulting in a smooth and elastic dough that will rise well.
- Let the Dough Rise in a Warm Place: Find a warm and draft-free spot for the dough to rise, as this will help it rise properly.
- Add the Olives and Cheddar Cheese at the Right Time: Mix in the olives and cheddar cheese at the end of the kneading process to prevent over-mixing, which can make the bread dense.
- Bake the Bread at the Right Temperature: Preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the bread to ensure it bakes evenly and has a crispy crust.
Conclusion:
The Hot Cheddar Olive Bread is a delightful and flavorful bread that combines the tanginess of olives and the sharpness of cheddar cheese with the soft and fluffy texture of bread. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this bread is perfect for both novice and experienced bakers. Serve it warm with your favorite soup, salad, or as a snack on its own.
