Make This No Knead Garlic Olive Skillet Bread

I always start by gathering all of the ingredients needed in a recipe and weighing and measuring everything before I start to cook or bake. This part is really important and key in keeping everything organized.

You can find the full printable version of this recipe at the bottom of this post.

To make this recipe you will need the following ingredients:

1. Warm water
2. Olive oil
3. Honey
4. Instant yeast
5. Bread flour
6. Fine salt
7. Italian seasoning
8. Olives
9. Garlic

You start by mixing the warm water with the olive oil, honey and yeast in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, salt and Italian seasoning until combined.

Add the flour mixture, olives and minced garlic to the yeast mixture. Mix everything together. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and set aside to rise for 1 hour.

Oil a 10 or 12 inch cast iron skillet and transfer the dough to the skillet. Then cover it with a kitchen towel and set aside to rise for 30 minutes.

Drizzle a little olive oil over the top of the dough and sprinkle with more salt and Italian seasoning.

Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool in the skillet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a cutting board to continue cooling.

Store This No Knead Garlic Olive Skillet Bread

Store any leftovers of the bread at room temperature tightly wrapped in plastic film/Ziploc bag or in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. You can also store it in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.

Tips For Freezing Bread

1. The best way to preserve fresh bread is to freeze it and it can be frozen for up to 4-6 months.

2. You can freeze the bread either whole or sliced.

3. When freezing whole, wrap it tightly in a freezer bag and then defrost it in the refrigerator overnight before using.

4. When freezing sliced bread, put baking paper between the slices for easy removal. Defrost in the refrigerator.

5. Freezing bread for toast. Freeze the bread sliced with baking paper in between the slices. Then simply pop a slice of frozen bread in the toaster when you need it.

Notes & Substitutions

Bread Flour: I make this recipe using bread flour but you can also use all purpose flour instead.

Cast Iron Skillet: I use a 10 inch cast iron skillet to make this bread. You can also use other sizes or if you don’t have a cast iron skillet, you can use a Dutch oven lined with parchment paper instead.

Add Ins: Feel free to add in any add ins of choice. Such as: Nuts, seeds, raisins, cranberries, fresh herbs, chopped onions, hot peppers, Italian seasoning, cinnamon, black pepper, cheddar cheese, parmesan, other cheeses or other add ins.
