It's no secret that olives are fantastic for you. Turned into cooking oil, or eaten whole, an olive is a tiny fruit packed with nutrition. A heart-healthy snack, olives can help improve your circulation and come with some pretty amazing anti-inflammatory benefits.
Now when we talk about adding olives to your next homemade loaf of bread, you might be wondering which variety to add. In this No-Knead Artisan Olive Bread, we use both green and black olives for a distinct buttery, salty and slightly fruity variation of our favorite artisan bread.
Though green olives and black olives each hold different tastes, the only real difference between the two is ripeness. Green olives are olives that are harvested before they ripen, whereas black olives are those which are harvested once they're fully ripe. However, even if an olive is fully mature, it's not edible until it has been cured in salt, brine or water. That curing process is where the olives receive most of their flavor. The mixture of kalamata and green olives, used in this recipe makes it the ideal bread to serve alongside a bowl of soup, or enjoyed as a savory snack!
Though yams are one of the most loved root vegetables around, they're probably not the first you'd think of when choosing bread ingredients.

Plus, their versatile flavor makes them easily paired with several different spices ranging from cinnamon to coriander. A yams nutritional value and flavor profile, make them a sweet way to sneak veggies into your next bread recipes. Whether you choose to pair your yam-infused dough with savory spices like oregano or create a delicious bread by mixing in cinnamon and a dash of honey, we're confident that you'll love the outcome.

It's no secret that honey is delicious. Bread that is made with honey has a fantastic flavor. Plus, because honey is sweetener, it's a great way to naturally sweeten your bread without table sugar. While honey tastes great, that's not all it's good for. When added to bread dough, honey helps protest the loaf's moisture, helping you create light and airy bread that is baked to perfection!
