Featuring a blend of Kalamata and green olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and crumbled feta cheese, this bread is seasoned with dried oregano and olive oil for a Mediterranean twist.

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Bread

  • Non-stick cooking spray
  • 12 dinner rolls, unbaked and thawed

Fillings and Toppings

  • 1/4 cup sliced Kalamata olives
  • 1/4 cup green olives
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Spray a loaf pan thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and for easy removal of the bread after baking.
  2. Arrange the Rolls: Place the 12 unbaked, thawed dinner rolls evenly into the prepared loaf pan, arranging them close together but not squished.
  3. Add the Olive and Tomato Fillings: Nestle 1/4 cup sliced Kalamata olives, 1/4 cup green olives, and 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes evenly among the dinner rolls, distributing the flavors throughout the loaf.
  4. Allow the Dough to Rise: Cover the loaf pan loosely with plastic wrap and allow the rolls to rise for 3 to 4 hours or until risen about 1 inch above the pan’s edge, ensuring a soft and fluffy texture after baking.
  5. Top with Cheese and Seasoning: Carefully remove any plastic wrap, then sprinkle 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top of the risen rolls. Follow by sprinkling 2 teaspoons of dried oregano evenly across the surface.
  6. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil evenly over the top to enhance flavor and aid in browning during baking.
  7. Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pan in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the bread cool slightly before serving to allow easier handling and to enjoy the full blend of flavors.

Notes

  • Make sure the dinner rolls are fully thawed before beginning for even rising and baking.
  • You can substitute the feta cheese with goat cheese for a creamier texture if desired.
  • Adding a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes before baking can provide a spicy kick.
  • This bread is best served warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days.
