Olive Bread

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. + rising Bake: 20 min. + cooling YIELD: 1 loaf (30 pieces).
With just a few ingredients, you can bake up this tender olive bread recipe. It's great to serve when you're having a large group at home or need something for a potluck. —Ann Major, Oskaloosa, Kansas

Ingredients

  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2-1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup sliced pitted kalamata or green olives

Directions

  • 1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the oil, sugar, salt and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough.
  • 2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • 3. Preheat oven to 375°. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside. Punch dough down. Roll into a 16-in. x 12-in. rectangle. Sprinkle olives to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seams to seal and tuck ends under. Place seam side down on prepared baking sheet. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 20 minutes.
  • 4. Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
