I'm trying to use my bread machine more (c'mon let's face it, who doesn't like warm bread, baked fresh daily?). So I started searching around for Cooking Light bread machine recipes, and I found this one.
Olive Bread
Yield: 16 servings (serving size: 1 slice)
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup warm water (105° to 115°)
- 3/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped green olives
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 package dry yeast
My machine requires the ingredients to be entered liquid first (so I did it in the above order). Then I put it on light bread cycle (I have an old machine), and two hours later, I got a loaf of bread.
Olive Bread
Alternatively, you can do this bread without a bread machine by following these directions.
Preparation
Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in a small bowl; let stand 5 minutes.
Combine yeast mixture, 1 1/2 cups flour, cornmeal, yogurt, olives, oil, rosemary, and salt in a large bowl. Beat at medium speed of a mixer until blended. Add 1 1/2 cups flour; stir until a soft dough forms.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes). Place in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
Punch dough down; turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Let rest 5 minutes. Knead lightly. Roll into a 14 x 7-inch rectangle. Roll up starting with a short edge, pressing firmly to eliminate air pockets; pinch seam and ends to seal. Place roll, seam side down, in a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise 45 minutes or until doubled in bulk.
Preheat oven to 375°.
Uncover dough; bake at 375° for 30 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from pan immediately; cool on a wire rack.

Thanks so much for posting this. I stumbled across your blog after googling on the off chance there was actually a bread recipe for a bunch of random ingredients I had like yogurt and olives. This far exceed my expectations and for only 127 calories! Thanks again.

Thanks Donna. Those WW points are off though (if you care). With the new point plus, I'm guessing it's about 3PPV

Oh, I definitely care about the calories. Been dieting since I was 11. I now refer to it as "the hobby". This is still a great choice. Lots of flavor for the caloric investment. I'm making it again today. Love your blog...btw.
