GARLIC AND OLIVES BREAD

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups bread flour (approx.)
1 tbsp dry yeast

1 tbsp white sugar

1 tbsp butter

1 tsp salt

1 cup warm water

Filling:

2 tbsp butter softened

3 cloves garlic minced

½ cup chopped green olives

Directions:

In a big bowl, mix 1 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt.

Add butter and warm water. Stir with a wooden spoon.

Gradually add flour until it starts getting difficult to mix with the spoon.

Spread about 1/2 cup flour on a working surface and place dough on the flour.

Start kneading the dough (as you knead, it will absorb the flour from the working surface).

Add more flour, gradually, until you get a smooth and elastic ball of dough.

Place dough in a bowl coated with vegetable oil.

Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise until doubled.

Place dough on a floured surface and stretch it using your hands, until it forms a rectangle. You don't want your dough to get too thin.



Mix all ingredients for the filling and spread evenly on the dough.



Roll the dough and cut it lengthwise but don't separate the halves. This way you will be able to see the layers of filling.



Turn the filling up and braid halves allowing the filling to show.







Place bread on a lightly oiled baking sheet.



Allow to rise covered with plastic, until doubled.



Bake in pre-heated oven (190º C)until golden brown.

  1. I've been looking for more savoury options for "cinnamon" buns and this sounds like a fantastic flavour! Thanks!
