Olive Yogurt Bread

PLEASE NOTE THE UPDATE ON AMOUNT OF WATER FOR YEAST MIXTURE BELOW - 27/4/2023 This is based on my keto yogurt bread recipe. It is so flavorful, has a mildly tangy taste with crispy crust and tender crumbs. It is crispy when toasted. If you love olives, you have to try this bread.

1. For best results, weigh the ingredients with a digital scale

2. Preheat the oven at 210 F or 100 C.

3. Add all the ingredients for the yeast mixture into a bowl. Mix to combine then set aside. This step is to check the condition of the yeast. If there are a lot of bubbling and foaming, then the yeasts are good. If not, please change to a new batch.

4. In another bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together until well combined. Remember that if you are using egg white powder, add it into these dry ingredients.

5. Add all the wet ingredients (including the yeast mixture) and mix to combine. If you are using egg white powder, remember to add the room temperature water into these wet ingredients.

6. The dough is moderately firm and sticky. Wet your hands for easier handling.

7. I used a 7x3 inch round pan lightly greased and lined with parchment papers. It is important to use a suitable pan for yeast bread. The pan should be narrow and tall. If the pan is too big, the dough will spread sideways to fill up the gaps and you will end up with a big but flat bread. Alternatively, you can use aluminum foil to make a ring around the dough.

8. Transfer the dough into the pan. Sprinkle with some oat fiber powder to prevent the towel from sticking to the dough.

9. Cover loosely with a towel and proof at a warm area for about 20 to 30 minutes or until well risen.  You can also proof the dough in a preheated oven at 210F or 100C with a dish of boiling water for about 30 minutes or until well risen.

10.  Once the dough has risen nicely, make a few cuts and sprinkle with a tsp of arrowroot powder. This gives a nice rustic look, but it is optional.

11. Bake in the oven for 60 minutes. Increase the oven heat to 350F or 180C. The dough will continue to rise as the heat increases in the oven until a certain point then the yeast will die off.

12. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

13. This bread can be kept at room temperature for a few days if you have a cool and dry climate. Otherwise, it's better to refrigerate earlier for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.

Baking Powder = 16 g / 4 tsp

Salt = 4 g / 1 tsp

Whole Psyllium Husks = 27 g / 3 tbsp (Note: The psyllium husks must be ground until half its original volume, then weigh it. Please watch this video about psyllium husk and powder for better understanding and success)

Chili flakes = 1/2 to 1 tsp (optional)

Egg White Options:

1. Fresh Egg Whites = 6 large (210 g) (room temperature)

2. Liquid egg white in cartons = 210 g

3. Egg White Powder = 37.5 g + 210 ml room temperature water (This is to reconstitute the egg white powder. If using fresh or liquid egg whites, please omit this water. You can add the egg white powder to the dry ingredients and water to the wet ingredients)

Instant or rapid rise yeast = 16 g / 4 tsp
