It is a no-knead recipe. Just combine all the ingredients and rest the dough for 1 hour or until double in size. Next, deflate the dough, shape it and place it on a baking tray and proof it for 40 minutes to an hour. Proofing will depend on how warm your kitchen is. Since my kitchen is warm, it took only 40 minutes.

Ingredients to make Easy Olive & Feta Bread Rolls Recipe

Flour – I used bread flour as it gives a chewier crust. On the other hand, you can replace bread flour with all-purpose flour. 

Yeast – Instant yeast is my go-to. You can surely use active dry yeast. However, the dough will take longer to rise. 

Salt – Since we are adding feta cheese, add only 1/2 teaspoon salt. 

Olive oil – I used extra virgin olive oil. You can replace it with regular olive oil or vegetable oil. 

Herbs & Spices – Herbs and spices give flavor to the bread. Thyme and garlic compliment the olives in the bread. You can use parsley/ rosemary instead of thyme. 

I like using freshly chopped garlic in the recipe. However, garlic powder works well too. 

I like adding a little red chili flakes. You can leave it out if you don’t like them.

Olives – can be black, green, or Kalamata olives. There were some Kalamata olives left over that I needed to finish, so I used them.  

Cheese– Feta pairs well with olives. Alternatively, you can use goat cheese or cheddar.
