I don’t think that’s mold. I am guessing that’s the extra olive oil that hardened. I don’t store mine in the fridge. But, that is my guess. Or the salt crystallized.

This was delicious when I made it last night – so easy and fast! However, when I pulled it out of the fridge today (less than 24 hours later), it had a heavy sprinkling of what looked like white mold spots over the top. Did I do something wrong? I’ve never had bread go bad on me that fast.

This is our favorite bread recipe at home now!! Every time we have soup my son asks “Where’s the bread?” I have a hard time staying away from it before dinner though… Thank you for posting this Jessica!

@Fleur, sorry so late in responding! You can reduce the oil, but it really does add a lot of flavor.

Fantastic recipe & super easy! Has anyone tried making this recipe with less oil? It was really delicious when I baked it yesterday (as per recipe) but I was a little bit alarmed by the amount of oil I added. Just wondering if reducing the oil would spoil the end result?

I made this tonight and it was wonderfully delicious!

For the commenters who were asking: I made it in my kitchen aid mixer since I don't have a bread machine. I proofed the yeast, then added in the dry ingredients and let knead until the dough was smooth and elastic – perhaps seven minutes. Then I followed FishMama's baking directions.
