Dish
Eliopsomo
Olive bread
Eliopsomo is made by mixing flour, yeast, salt, olives, and olive oil together to form a dough. The dough is then kneaded and left to rise before being baked until it is golden brown and crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The olives and olive oil give the bread a rich, savory flavor.
Origins and history
