Hello and Welcome To Uncle Lou's Kitchen today we'll be showing you how to make a super easy olive bread (no mixer required) Olive bread is a popular vegan option for those who are looking for a delicious and nutritious alternative to traditional bread.
The origins of this bread can be traced back to Mediterranean cuisine, where olives were a staple ingredient in many dishes. In this region, olive oil was used as a substitute for butter or other fats, which is why olive bread was created.
Olive bread is made with a blend of flour, yeast, salt, and water, along with a generous amount of olives that are either chopped or pureed and added to the dough. The result is a flavorful and aromatic bread that is packed with healthy fats, antioxidants, and vitamins.
