Gluten Free Cheese Olive Bread Food

OLIVE CHEESE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Roughly chop both the black olives and pimiento-stuffed green olives. Slice the green onions into thin pieces.
• Combine the butter, mayonnaise, cheese, olives and green onions in a mixing bowl. Stir together until thoroughly combined.
• Spread the mixture onto the French bread. Bake until the cheese is melted and browning, 20 to 25 minutes.

GLUTEN-FREE OLIVE BREAD WITH PARMESAN AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mist a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line the loaf pan with parchment paper and mist the parchment paper, as well.
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, Italian seasoning, and salt.
• In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and olive oil. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, using a spatula to fold ingredients together just until combined (don't over-mix; the batter should be a little lumpy).
• Fold in the chopped olives, Parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes (if using), and garlic. Scoop batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread around. Sprinkle a little more Parmesan over top of dough.
• Bake olive loaf in the middle rack of the oven for 50 minutes. If the loaf is browning too quickly, loosely tent a sheet of foil over the top of the loaf for the last 10-15 minutes.
• Remove loaf from oven and let cool in pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes before lifting on the parchment paper to remove loaf from pan. Set loaf directly on the wire rack to finish cooling.
• Serve slices warm or at room temperature with butter or olive oil for dipping.

GLUTEN-FREE KALAMATA OLIVE AND ROSEMARY BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°F.
• Sift the flours, yeast and all other dry ingredients (except coarse sea salt) into a medium bowl. Stir in flax meal and rosemary, and combine.
• Combine wet ingredients, including the two whole eggs and the two separated egg whites in a large bowl, using a hand-mixer on low or medium speed. [The two separated egg yolks should be set aside in a small bowl for later use as a glaze]. When fully combined, add kalamata olives. Slowly add dry ingredient mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until fully blended, with no lumps. Scrape the sides regularly.
• Grease a 9x5" bread pan, and pour the dough into the pan. Use a spatula or knife to evenly shape the top of the loaf. Cut two diagonal slashes in the top of the loaf. Beat the two separated egg yolks that have been set aside and brush the top of the loaf very lightly with them. Optional: Sprinkle coarse sea salt crystals very sparsely to embellish the loaf.
• Turn off the oven and immediately place the pan in it. Do not open the door again, if possible. Allow the dough to rise for 90 minutes. It should rise to the very top of the pan.
• Increase heat to 350F and bake for approximately 40 minutes. The crust should be golden-brown. Allow to cool slightly before removing it from the pan to finish cooling. Do not slice until the bread is no longer hot.
• This loaf does not need to be frozen, but if there are leftovers after a few days, place slices in airtight bags and freeze.
