Delicious Olives Parmesan Sourdough Bread looks perfect treat with mixed olives and nutty Parmesan cheese with crusty bread
.
I never make resolutions for new year as most of time I won’t be able to adhere to it. This time I have decided on a resolution of making at least one sourdough bread every week. I don’t know how long I can keep up with that. Here is a olives Parmesan sourdough bread I made last weekend. It is among the most delicious breads that I have made till now.
I was planning to make this bread for some time but got stalled as I need mixed colored olives. Finally, I got hold of kalamata olives, which is purple in color, green olives and black olive and made this bread. Parmesan cheese add buttery touch to the loaf but not too much. I added only ⅓ cup you can increase it up to ½ cup if you want.
If you like sourdough bread, then give this one a try. I like to try different version of sourdough bread. I found this one in the book “Artisan bread made simple”. I didn’t exactly follow the complete recipe and as usual, I ended up changing it. Because I found that baking time and temperature was not suited for me, I used cold Dutch oven to bake bread. Earlier I used to pre heat the oven along with Dutch oven now I fount that is not necessary. Since it is winter the bread won’t have too much tang even if you leave the dough outside for some time. That part I like it. As I needed to go out to get some groceries, I left the dough and came back little late, still bread was not tang as I expected.
Hubby’s verdict was that it is a very good bread, and please make it again. Best part is you don’t need any butter or jam or even a dip to finish the entire loaf. You can eat them as such with out any add-ons.
Please stay and encourage me at least I should finish this 2019 resolutions without any break. I can’t promise though I will try my level best. Until then enjoy this bread and wait for my next creations.

When mixing all the add ins… do you stretch & fold it in ?
I laid my dough out in a square and put all the add ins and then folded it like an envelope. Shaped it and the dough started to tare… I think it was caused by the add ins. How did you do this part?

We love sourdough bread and using it with different dishes. I would try this recipe just without the olives as we aren't big fans of olives. Maybe put jalapeno instead for us.
