Thank you so much, Greenthumb! I LOVE to make No Knead breads. I'll definitely give this one a try.

Your very welcome! Anytime
Yep this is a no knead recipe, which is a plus for some people. I actually like to knead bread it helps to relieve the tension, if you've had a hard day . I'm going to make this olive bread on Wednesday, I'll let you know how it came out.

Yep, imagine how much tastier it will be when you've made it yourself, fresh & homemade . Try it I bet you'll be glad you did.

Do you use the brined Kalamata olives or the ones in vinagarette?

Yes, I use the kalamata olives that are in brine. They have a nice saltiness that's good in the bread.

Kim,
Looks good!! Did you use green olives in your bread too?, haven't tried it with green olives before, wonder if it gives the bread a different flavor. I'll have to post mine up.

 

[Kim_NC]

Yes, I used some green olives. I didn't have enough kalamata, so subbed about 1/2 cup of green olives that were stuffed with pimentos.

Also, I added 1/2 tsp oregano.

Dont preheat the lid in the oven. Just the pot itself.

Why not preheat the lid? Wouldn't a hot lid start baking from the top to make the loaf evenly baked?

Most of the Artisan bread recipes I use say to heat the pot, but don't mention the lid. I usually just put the cold lid on when setting the loaf into the preheated pot. Also for most of them, you bake them about 20-25 min with the lid, then remove the lid to finish browning for another 10 or more minutes.

I've tried it both ways - preheated lid and cold lid - and not seen a difference.

I have found (accidently) that leaving a lid off at the beginning of the baking time reduces the oven spring in the Artisan loaves.
