Olive Bacon And Cheese Bread Recipes

Steps:

• NOTE: City ham is the already cooked ham and is sold as "ready to serve". Buy it still on the bone, because it's better! If you don't want to bring back the whole ham at home, ask your butcher to slice it off for you. In a large bowl, whisk together the wine, oil, eggs, and salt. Separately, mix the flour and baking powder, sift and stir into the liquid preparation. Chop the onion finely and sautee in a skillet with a bit of olive oil or butter. Add the bacon to onions and cook for a few minutes then keep aside. Take care of draining the mixture to avoid a soggy dough. Slice the olives and parsley then cut the ham. Add all ingredients and grated cheese to the basic preparation and mix. Pour into a buttered pan. Bake in the oven for 1 hour at 360°F (180°C).

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 400^. Spray an 8x5-inch loaf pan. Set aside.
• 2. In a large bowl whisk the first 3 ingredients together and make a well in the center.Set aside. --- In another small bowl lightly beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk,and olive oil . Pour egg mixture into the well of the dry ingredients, and stir gently to blend.
• 3. Fold in the cheese, ham,bacon and olives. Pour into prepared pan and bake in oven for 10 minutes. --- Reduce the oven temperature to 375^ and continue to bake the loaf for 35 minutes, until it's puffed and golden brown, or a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• 4. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let it rest for 5 minutes, then remove from pan. Let cool at least 10 minutes, Serve with butter or olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• In a bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, dry mustard and the cayenne. Add the butter and blend the mixture until it resembles meal. Stir in the cheddar cheese gently.
• In a small bowl whisk together the egg, buttermilk and the Worcestershire sauce; stir the mixture into the flour mixture until it is not quite combined.
• Add the bacon and olives and stir once again briefly until the dough is just combined.
• Turn the batter into a well buttered loaf pan and bake the bread for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan on a rack for 5 minutes, then turn it out onto the rack and let it cool completely.

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.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together flour, salt, and yeast; stir in cheese and olives. Add water and, using a wooden spoon or your hand, mix until a wet, sticky dough forms, about 30 seconds, adding additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until dough has doubled in size and surface becomes dotted with bubbles, 12 to 18 hours.
• Generously flour work surface; scrape dough onto work surface. Lightly flour hands, a bowl scraper, or a spatula and lift edges of dough toward the center. Nudge and tuck edges of dough to make round.
• Place a piece of parchment paper on work surface and generously dust with flour. Gently place dough on parchment, seam-side down. If dough is tacky, lightly dust top with flour. Cover dough loosely with wax paper and two clean kitchen towels. Let dough stand in a warm, draft-free spot until almost doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.
• Gently poke dough with your finger; dough should hold the impression. If it springs back, let rise 15 minutes more.
• Ten minutes before dough has finished rising, preheat oven to 475 degrees on a conventional oven (450 degrees on a convection oven) with a rack in the lower third. Place a covered 3 1/2-quart cast-iron or enameled cast-iron Dutch oven (with plastic handle removed and screw hole plugged with aluminum foil) in center of rack.
• Using pot holders, carefully remove preheated Dutch oven from oven and uncover. Uncover bread and loosen bottom with a large spatula. With the aid of the parchment paper, invert bread into preheated Dutch oven so that it is seam-side up. Cover Dutch oven and transfer to oven; bake for 25 minutes.
• Uncover and continue baking until bread is dark brown but not burnt, 15 to 30 minutes more. Using a heatproof spatula or pot holders, gently lift bread from Dutch oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
