A delightful bread roll filled with savory olives, fresh herbs, and cheese, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even baking and a golden crust.
Unroll the refrigerated bread dough onto a clean surface.
Let the dough sit at room temperature for a few minutes if it's too cold to unroll easily.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped black olives, parsley, grated parmesan cheese, and ground black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border along one edge.
The border will help seal the roll and prevent the filling from spilling out.
Roll the dough tightly into a log, starting from the edge opposite the border. Pinch the seam to seal.
Rolling tightly ensures the filling stays in place during baking.
Place the roll seam-side down on a non-stick baking sheet. Score the top diagonally with a sharp knife.
Scoring the dough allows steam to escape and creates a decorative pattern.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown.
Check the bread towards the end of the baking time to avoid overbrowning.
Let the bread cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Cooling slightly makes slicing easier and prevents the filling from spilling out.
