Directions
I’ve been making these bread loaves on random days for years now, having tried many different combinations and measurements I am finally confident enough to share this recipe with you all! It’s surprisingly simple you don’t have to be a baker to win at these and the results are incredible!
These loaves are baked with olive oil. The texture comes out soft and fluffy on the inside with a thin crispy, flavourful crust. Perfect for a grilled cheese sandwich, but also goes great as a tapenade.
You can’t beat the aroma of a freshly baked loaf, or two!
Share your loaves on instagram and tag me @issa.feast. I can’t wait to see your creations!
