Feta Olive Swirl Bread
Soft, golden swirl bread filled with creamy feta and savory olives, baked until fluffy inside and lightly crisp on the outside.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 3/4 cup black olives, sliced and drained
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and lightly grease a loaf pan or prepare a baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add flour, olive oil, and salt. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Roll the dough into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
- Evenly sprinkle crumbled feta and sliced olives over the dough.
- Roll tightly into a log and place into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.
- Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Drain olives well to prevent excess moisture in the dough.
- Let the bread cool before slicing to maintain clean swirls.
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Freeze sliced portions for up to 2 months and reheat gently.
