This kalamata olive bread recipe makes a large loaf of bread in a bread machine. It's an easy preparation, and the olives make it an excellent bread to serve with a spaghetti dinner. The dried basil adds an additional herbal flavor to the loaf. If you have a jar of kalamata olives, you should have plenty of brine.
Low Carb Flour - 3 cups. Vital Wheat Gluten - 3 teaspoons. Vegetable Oil - ¼ cup. Seasoning such as salt as desired. I like to lightly spray my bread machine pan lightly with nonstick before I start. Start by activating the yeast by placing the warm tap water, sugar and yeast in the pan and allowing it to react.
