This Greek olive and feta bread recipe is comforting, flavorful, and just dramatic enough to belong in a Marvel love story.
I imagine Wanda baking this bread. She’s in a quiet Sokovian kitchen. Vision is reading a cookbook he doesn’t fully understand. And somewhere between magic and memory, this olive feta bread appears—warm, herby, with a crust so perfect it almost cracks like an energy shield when sliced.
Now, back to my kitchen in Indianapolis. I’m not Wanda. But I am a woman who loves deeply, cooks passionately, and occasionally feels like I’m holding my own reality together with a rolling pin and some ghee.
And this bread?
This Greek olive and feta bread recipe brought me peace, purpose, and a house that smelled like rosemary and redemption.
🥖 Why You’ll Fall in Love With This Olive Feta Bread
- The crust is golden and crisp. It crackles when you slice it—like ASMR for your soul.
- The inside is soft and fluffy, not too chewy, not too dense. It’s the perfect sponge for stew, sauce, or melted ghee.
- The flavors are bold—Kalamata olives, rosemary, fresh garlic, and crumbled feta in every bite.
- It’s made in a stand mixer (or by hand if you’re feeling Sokovian).
- And it’s easy. Like “Wanda could magic it into existence” easy—but here, you’ll just use yeast.
I made this loaf for my daughter, who loves olives and feta. I paired it with my Lamb stew (recipe coming soon), and when I tasted it? It was pure flavor bliss. I didn’t just smile—I gasped.
I don’t even like olives like that. But this bread? It made me believe.

Ingredients
2 cups bread flour
¾ cup warm water (plus 1–2 tablespoons more as needed)
1 teaspoon sugar or honey
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon melted ghee (plus extra for brushing)
½ tablespoon olive oil
¾ teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 cup chopped Kalamata olives (pitted and well drained)
1¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
Optional: coarse salt and extra rosemary for topping
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar or honey, and active dry yeast. Stir and let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. If it doesn’t foam, your yeast may be inactive and should be replaced.
- Once the yeast is active, stir in the melted ghee, olive oil, salt, minced garlic, and rosemary.
- Gradually add the bread flour, mixing until a shaggy dough begins to form.
- Add in the olives and crumbled feta, then knead the dough for 8–10 minutes by hand or about 6 minutes with a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add more warm water, a tablespoon at a time, if the dough feels dry. The dough should be smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for 1 to 1½ hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and shape it into a rustic round or oval loaf, or divide into 4–5 rolls. Place onto a parchment-lined or greased baking sheet.
- Cover loosely and let the shaped dough rise again for 30–45 minutes while you preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Once the dough has puffed up, brush the top with melted ghee. Sprinkle with coarse salt and a pinch of rosemary if desired.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Rolls may finish in 20–22 minutes.
- Let the bread cool for at least 10–15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
