Description

This Dinner Roll Olive Bread is a savory, aromatic loaf made by layering frozen dinner rolls with a blend of Kalamata and green olives, oregano, and olive oil, then topped with parmesan cheese. Perfectly risen and baked to golden perfection, this bread is ideal for serving alongside soups, salads, or as a flavorful snack.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 bag frozen dinner rolls (like Rhodes)
  • 2 tablespoons Kalamata olives, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons green olives, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons oregano
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ⅔ cup parmesan cheese, shredded

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan: Grease a loaf pan thoroughly with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent sticking and facilitate easy removal of the bread after baking.
  2. Layer the rolls: Add a layer of frozen dinner rolls to the greased loaf pan. Toss this layer with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to coat the rolls evenly and enhance flavor.
  3. Add olives: Sprinkle half of the chopped Kalamata and green olives over the first layer of rolls to distribute flavor throughout the bread.
  4. Second layer of rolls: Arrange another layer of frozen dinner rolls on top of the olives, creating a layered structure for the bread.
  5. Add remaining toppings: Sprinkle the remaining olives, oregano, and drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top layer to add herbaceous notes and richness.
  6. Rise: Cover the loaf pan with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and allow the rolls to rise in a warm place for 3 to 4 hours until doubled in size.
  7. Preheat oven: Once the rolls have risen, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to get an ideal baking environment.
  8. Add cheese: Evenly sprinkle the shredded parmesan cheese over the top of the risen rolls to provide a savory, melted crust once baked.
  9. Bake: Bake the loaf for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven. If the top begins to brown too quickly, cover the loaf loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes to prevent burning while ensuring the bread cooks through.

Notes

  • Allowing the rolls to rise for 3 to 4 hours is key to creating a soft, fluffy texture inside the bread.
  • If you prefer a stronger olive flavor, you can increase the amount of olives slightly.
  • Covering the bread with foil toward the end of the baking process helps avoid over-browning while cooking the loaf evenly.
  • This bread can be sliced and served warm or at room temperature, making it versatile for different meals.
  • For added flavor, consider incorporating garlic powder or fresh herbs into the layering process.
