Greek Olive and Onion Bread image

Provided by healthyfoodie

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes     White Bread Recipes

Time 3h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (.25 ounce) packages rapid rise yeast
½ cup warm water
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large red onions, diced
7 cups bread flour
1 ½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon white sugar
¼ cup chopped fresh dill
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups pitted kalamata olives, chopped
1 ¾ cups warm water

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the yeast over 1/2 cup of warm water in a small bowl. The water should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Let stand for 5 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and the onions. Cook and stir for 3 minutes, or until onions are soft. Remove the onions from heat and reserve.
  • Combine the bread flour, salt, sugar, dill, garlic powder, olives, and cooked onions in a large bowl and mix well. Add the yeast mixture and the remaining 1 3/4 cup water. Mix well until the ingredients have pulled together and have formed a sticky dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
  • Lightly oil a large bowl, then place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  • Lightly grease two baking sheets. Deflate the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Use a knife to divide the dough into two equal pieces-don't tear it. Shape into dough into round loaves, and place the loaves into the prepared pans. Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
  • Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Bake loaves in the preheated oven until the tops are golden brown and the bottoms sound hollow when tapped, about 40 minutes. Cool slightly before slicing.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of onions for a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of yellow, white, and red onions.
  • Sauté the onions until they are golden brown and caramelized. This will bring out their sweetness and flavor.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the bread.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the bread tough.
  • Let the bread rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will ensure that the bread is light and fluffy.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help the bread to rise evenly.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing. This will make it easier to slice and will prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Onion olive bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or even just as a snack. The combination of caramelized onions and olive oil gives this bread a unique and flavorful taste. If you are looking for a new bread to try, onion olive bread is a great option.
