This was the best and most beautiful bread I ever baked, i mixed spelt and plain flours, added kalamata olives and 50ml olive oil, this will be my go to bread recipe for sure ❤
Looks fantastic thank you! We are cypriots, and my mum used to use dried mint and onion with the olives. Im loving the ideas of feta cheese and sun dried tomatoes. Houmous will go great
First off..... I’m an experienced cook, but not a bread baker. I leave the bread baking to my husband. However, after viewing this video, I told myself “Dimitra makes this look so easy”........I just had to try it. Turned out PERFECTLY! I even impressed my husband with its lovely tender crumb, excellent uniformity , and crispy crust on the outside! Thanks Dimitra for another winner of a recipe! Since subscribing only a couple of weeks ago, I have turned out FANTASTIC recipes one after the other! Really excellent recipe development that any cook can follow AND SUCCEED!
Hello Dimitra ,I love cooking heaps and I love to experiment as well, I remember my mums recipes but 7:59 I try to modernise them a little, in my olive bread I love to add chopped kalamata olives ,chopped up onion,shallots fresh mint ,and fresh coriander it's delicious and I also add cut up halloumi cheese especially when u cut the olive bread ,the green with olives looks amazing
I made this today and it came out just like in the video. Stacking the layers with olives topping was very difficult . Next time I will add the olives after I layer the dough. Thank you!
Omg i come across your channel recently and have subscribed to it. Omg i made this recipe also added sundried tomato to it. I come from a greek cypriot family so i know about olive bread but your recipe was so so easy to make and so delicious. My son is a chef and wants to make it with me. i will be using this recipe from now on. Thank you Dimitra for sharing such a wonderful and easy recipe the black sesame seeds are great addition to it .
Thank you I just made it and finished it. Very easy to make thanks to your very precise advise, Delicious, I did the same one with black olives, oregano and olive oil, I also added spicy green peppers cut in small pieces. Thank you very much I will make that bread regularly, one of my preferred !
Oh my God I am dying to eat this bread - you are amazing and sweet too. I never heard about using the dryer what a trick. Oh I love that bread so much 😚
Good recipe, and thank you so much for leaving us printable instructions. Only thing is no commercial yeast nowadays. I only have home grown yeast. I ll try.
Hello to you dear Dimitras…dear…..love it!!!!!….I have questions…..this delicious Greek olive bread….can be made in advance???…..an other question…..can be freeze as well???…..I will have my family over for the holidays…..making many of your wonderful dishes …..so this bread for sure will be a hit….specially with sorts of cheese…..I will wait for your reply…..stay safe…take care….all the best for your family…..merry Christmas!!!…Rebeca …..Canada😊
Believe or not I can smell it, so delicious 🤤 Now it’s midnight and yet I’m hungry 🤤🤤🤤There has nothing can compare crispy homemade bread plus there has olives 🥺I’m afraid to ruin it because every time when I make bread the bread turned out like heavy stone😂😂😂😂
Hello Dimitra. This looks great and I want to give it a go. What is the best way to bake the bread, i. e. Conventional top-bottom, conventional with heat only from bottom, or fan with lower temperature? Thank you very much
Hi this bread I want to make can I use a Dutch oven with lid on as I do make some bread in the Dutch oven would love to hear from you x I made filo spinach ricotta pies today not bad fist time thanks for sharing 😘
That looks phenomenal! (Why am I surprised =-) I was think of trying this in a bread maker but after seeing the crunchy crust it wouldn't do it justice.. This will be my next loaf. I mix olives, cream cheese a bit of sour cream and some spices on occasion for a spread.
I love this bread, but I am having some difficulty preventing the olives from separating the layers. I wonder if I should chop to olives finer, if I should add less or more olive oil, if I should press the layers of dough together, etc.
Thank you for a delicious sounding recipe I would be afraid of cracking a hot cast iron skillet by pouring cold water into it. I use a cheap pie tin with hot water in it, that I allow to heat up with the oven.
Looks wonderful but I SURE WISH, chefs would advise us, if we can’t afford a $300 Kitchen-Aid mixer, how long we’d need to knead the dough. (Even tho’ it’s a bicep builder, it’s the old fashioned way our European Grannies made 🥖 🥯 🍞)
Hi Hun I want to make that beautiful olive bread from your video I watched can I put it in a Dutch oven with lid on I love all your shows your the best xx🤗
I just made this bread and followed your video step by step……the bread tasted great but I found that all the olives are around the edge of the loaf, hardly any olives in the middle, why? Is there a special way to fold the dough after u put the four layers together? I did follow the same way you did in the video. Thanks
Water on the loaf is to help make a great crust. So is the ice water in the hot iron pan. But I would NEVER put cold water on a 500 degree iron pan. I use hot water in a cheap aluminum pie tin, and allow it to heat up on the bottom rack as the oven preheats. I use a spray bottle of distilled water to spray into the oven when I put the bread in. The steam from the water in the pie tin, and from the spray and the coating on the loaf, will make a wonderful crust. This is how you would bake a French baguette.
Sorry, but I would never put any food to rice in the dryer. 😊 Put the light on in your oven and the breads will rise tremendously fantasticly amazing. Try it. I make my bread every week and it turns out delicious.
I love the recipes,,,just learning to bake bread myself,,,,,I’ll have to go elsewhere for another recipe,,,because you don’t mention any quantities of the ingredients,,,which is real frustrating to most people......looks good though...please in the future be more specific in the amount of ingredients,,,,,,
Thanks so much for stopping by! All of the recipe links are under the videos in the description box. My more recent videos list the ingredients along with the method in the description box as well. My website has the printable recipe :)

I love this bread, but I am having some difficulty preventing the olives from separating the layers. I wonder if I should chop to olives finer, if I should add less or more olive oil, if I should press the layers of dough together, etc.
Thank you for a delicious sounding recipe I would be afraid of cracking a hot cast iron skillet by pouring cold water into it.
I use a cheap pie tin with hot water in it, that I allow to heat up with the oven.
Oh wow I’m definitely going to make this bread TFS

Looks wonderful but I SURE WISH, chefs would advise us, if we can’t afford a $300 Kitchen-Aid mixer, how long we’d need to knead the dough. (Even tho’ it’s a bicep builder, it’s the old fashioned way our European Grannies made 🥖 🥯 🍞)
You can find No Knead Recipes too. ArtisanBreadwithSteve I think he’s called. He too does a Mediterranean Olive bread
Hi Hun I want to make that beautiful olive bread from your video I watched can I put it in a Dutch oven with lid on I love all your shows your the best xx🤗
I just made this bread and followed your video step by step……the bread tasted great but I found that all the olives are around the edge of the loaf, hardly any olives in the middle, why?
Is there a special way to fold the dough after u put the four layers together? I did follow the same way you did in the video.
Thanks
How long does it last?? Outside fridge? Inside fridge?
Can you use a cast iron dutch oven ?
How long would it be to knead by hand?
Made it and it was great. Next time more olives.
Awesome!!Thanks for letting me know. I agree with the more olives part :) All the best!
What does the water on the bread do? Also why ice water in the oven? Can I bake this in a Dutch oven with lid on? Or it has to be open
Water on the loaf is to help make a great crust. So is the ice water in the hot iron pan. But I would NEVER put cold water on a 500 degree iron pan. I use hot water in a cheap aluminum pie tin, and allow it to heat up on the bottom rack as the oven preheats. I use a spray bottle of distilled water to spray into the oven when I put the bread in. The steam from the water in the pie tin, and from the spray and the coating on the loaf, will make a wonderful crust. This is how you would bake a French baguette.
Orla Quirk thank you!!!
Can you cook this in Casserole dish?
Yes, you can bake it in a cast iron pot.
Sorry, but I would never put any food to rice in the dryer. 😊
Put the light on in your oven and the breads will rise tremendously fantasticly amazing. Try it. I make my bread every week and it turns out delicious.

Should I use bread flour or can I use 4 cups all purpose flour?
You can use all purpose flour but, you will have to knead it for almost double the time and it will be perfect 😋
Dimitra's Dishes thanks for your quick reply 😊
P. S.
Yes I used your dryer technique!
Haha! Doesn’t it speed things up? Just don’t turn it on by accident like I did once... 😦🤦🏻♀️
How many cup of flour
