Hi-ya! Happy Sunday, everyone! Another day, another snow storm. AND the porch thermometer is stuck at ZERO. It’s brutal.
You know what happens on these snowy, won’t-get-out-of-the-house days? I shop online, all day long. I jump from store to store, pretending like I can afford it all – Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Prada, etc. – I fill up my cart with everything that I want, and I never hit the “buy” button. 😀
Another thing that happens on these snowy, frigid days? I start to crave carbs. All the carbs, please! In the form of Rosemary Garlic No Knead Skillet Bread.
HOW TO MAKE BREAD IN A SKILLET
As championed by the authors of Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day, in a nutshell, this Skillet Olive Bread is just a batch of straight forward dough. You add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl; let it rise; transfer it to the skillet; let it rise again; then bake it. You spend about 5 minutes prepping it, and that is all. The rest of the time, the bread is rising or baking.
Spread it with butter, dip it in olive oil and balsamic vinegar (yes yes yes!), sop up some soup with it, or do what I do and just inhale it as is. This bread is everything. Crusty, warm, definitely flavorful, and I happen to think you should make a loaf right now, then go catch up on some Real Housewives.

Recipe Notes:
The olives sit in a liquid with garlic and herbs; when draining, please try to reserve as much of the herbs and garlic as possible. Alternatively, you can add in your own garlic and freeze-dried basil.
If you do not have an iron skillet, you can use a stoneware baking dish, instead.
It is important to remove bread from pan as soon as it comes out of the oven because bread left in the pan will get moist and soggy.
