Sourdough bread with Kalamata olives is a rustic, artisanal loaf that combines the chewy, tangy flavor of traditional sourdough with the rich, briny taste of Greek Kalamata olives. The olives are typically folded into the dough before baking, ensuring a burst of flavor in every bite. This Mediterranean-inspired bread is known for its bold flavor and pleasing texture.

Taste and texture

Crust: The crust is firm, golden, and satisfyingly crisp, which is a hallmark of artisan-style sourdough.
Crumb: The interior is typically moist, chewy, and tender, with an open, airy structure characteristic of slow fermentation.
Flavor: It offers a multi-layered flavor profile. The signature tang of the sourdough starter complements the salty, fruity, and savory notes of the Kalamata olives. Depending on the recipe, other complementary ingredients like rosemary, oregano, or a hint of garlic may be added.

Serving suggestions

This bread is incredibly versatile and pairs well with a variety of dishes:

Dipping bread: Serve thick slices warm with a high-quality extra virgin olive oil for a simple, classic appetizer.
Sandwiches: Its hearty texture makes it an excellent base for gourmet sandwiches, such as those with fresh mozzarella, goat cheese, or tuna.
Pairing with meals: Enjoy it alongside soups, salads, or Mediterranean dishes.
Cheese boards: It is a perfect addition to a charcuterie or cheese board, as the savory olive notes complement a range of cheeses.
Bruschetta: Lightly grill or toast slices and use them for open-faced sandwiches or bruschetta toppings.
