Being a big fan of cheese, I have always loved flavoured artisinal breads as well. Afterall, they are a match made in heaven! 😇

This olive baguette is excellent paired with cheese or as a side to a savoury dish.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a medium bowl, mix together the psyllium husk powder, coconut flour, onion powder, baking soda and 1 tsp of salt. Set the dry ingredients aside.

In a large bowl, using a handmixer, whisk together the coconut milk, melted butter and eggs until frothy. Gradually whisk in the dry ingredients.

Using a silicone or wooden spon, mix in the vinegar and 1/4 cup of olives, then allow the mixture to rest for 3-5 min.

Note: My go-to are spicy kalamata olives, but you can use any type of olive for this baguette.

Transfer the dough to a parchment lined baking sheet and shape into a baguette by hand.

Press the remaining olives into the dough and sprinkle the top with 1 tsp of kosher salt.

Optionally, you can also press fresh scallions or herbs into the top of the baguette dough. They will char and add a little extra flavour, but it is mostly aesthetic.

Bake the baguette for 50-55 min.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool at least 15 min before slicing.

Store the slices in the fridge or freeze them.
