Greek Yogurt, Olive & Oregano Mini Loafs

Written by Published on Updated on June 2, 2019 in Breads

 

Hi there, 🙂

How is everyone?  I am doing ok 🙂  I have been busy preparing for the part-time work I will be starting later this week. This is why I was not able to post the bread recipe yesterday.  

Ok, so my mini loafs may not look like much but believe me they are delicious.  My oven which really isn’t an oven, it’s more of a microwave/air oven, went bonkers on me again!!  This oven was in the house when we moved in, and we never really had the opportunity to replace this with a new one.  I am hoping that at some point in the future we will be able to put in a normal oven, but to do this I have to remodel the kitchen, and I know that is something I am not able to do at least in the near future or maybe even future, but that’s ok. 🙂  So, in my next post I will take a photo so that you can where I do most of my baking and the type of oven I use when I am baking food. 

One reason why I avoid baking in general is because of the existing oven, it’s just not helpful to me at all, and as a cook not having one is soooo frustrating. 🙂

For this recipe, I usually use Greek Olives Kalamon/Kalamata Olives that are marinated in Vinegar, but because I am all out of this type I used some olives I found in the market.  To balance the taste I added a bit more Oregano than usual, just to balance the taste.  

If you do try out the recipe, let me know your thoughts!!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
