This bread Ken is the bees knees. My wife is Greek Cypriot and enjoyed it .
Thank you!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
καλό απόγευμα! We just returned from Creta and I desperately needed a recipe for the bread! I can't wait to try this! Thank you for sharing your expertise.
For the first time in 8 years I can't make it to Greece because of the Covid pandemic but thanks to you Ken I managed to bring a piece of Greece at home :). Big thanks, big thumbs up!
Thanks very much Andy!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I appreciate it....
Addendum to my earlier post. I've Gotta tell you, Ken, my neighbors HATE me now! I've almost continually been baking your recipe for the last two days (being half-Greek I'm a big bread eater...), and though we have snow on the ground neighbors have been coming to my door due to the aroma (open-faced apartment building, open windows) begging for free bread. I used to just give them info on finding this vlog then driving them off with a bat (except the kids, of course, I just gave them a slice cause they're small, then I started selling it to their parents!). I'll try this as a karveli next, the round loaves, if you'll recall, and let you know how those turn out. This is so good as a home souvlaki with the psycha taken out and stuffed with olive oil, tomatoes, feta, and onions (pitted Kalamata olives are optional)! I missed that from my childhood and I have you to thank for the treat (I'm a great cook thanks to my Greek mother [Argostoli, Kefalonia], I just couldn't bake a decent loaf of bread to save my life until now)! THANK YOU SO MUCH! BTW, nice tats, and give Mitso a pat for me, please.
Haha awesome!!! Thank you so much.... 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I have not had greek bread since I was in Crete. I was there from 1971 - 1974 and I mill the bread from the local bakery. Back then it cost 3 drachma for a loaf. Thank you for the memory.
Thank you for your comment!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Sounds like a great memory....

Reminds me of the bread served in restaurants in Greece-nostalgia.....

I made this bread today and it is seriously some of the best bread I’ve ever had. The recipe is very straightforward and intuitive as well. I’m having this with Melas Zomos A.k.a. Spartan black broth according to a recipe I got from the tasting history RUclips channel. Great combination
Thanks Justin!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Woooooooweeeeeee! Delicious!
🙏🙏🙏
Delicious 😋
👍👍👍
Thank you Ken for the recipe. I’m going to buy the ingredients tomorrow.
Thank YOU Christine!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Ken you rock ❤️
Thanks for this video. I have gone to this Greek restaurant since I was 3 and have always loved their bread. Hopefully this will be like their bread.
👍👍👍
Beautiful beautiful 👍
Thank you very much!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Did you know the more you nead dough the more gluten it makes.....I love gluten and fat like in cream and meat why it tastes delicious and anything greek or Italian.
I'm pure Canadian
BLESSINGS
👍👍👍
Mitzo he is adorable introducing himself
Haha 👍👍👍
Its my favorite bread... I hope i can make that bread....
I like ! I try to do it !
Thanks Pat!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Ken - this is absolutely what I have been hunting for for days. My cardiologist put me on the Mediterrean Diet and I needed a bread I could bake at home. I can seldom get to the market and a good loaf costs a fortune. not going to lie - the absence of 'fixed' ingredients (like measured water) makes me nervous lol. I have made must bread over the years but still don't trust myself. I'll come back and let you know how it went. Thank you my new friend. It was a pleasure to find your channel.
Thanks very much and welcome!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks for this recipe ❤️👍👏 good job Sir
Thanks Maisie!!! 🙏🙏🙏

My favorite bread that my Yiayia makes. She would never tell me how to make it or my Mitera (mother). I am very happy and excited to make this. Thank you for respecting my culture, as always! I love the smell of yeast, too. How odd 😂♥️ Bow slap some Olive oil and feta on that bread!
Thank you Gina!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Your comments are very much appreciated... 👍🙏🏼😌❤️✌️💪🙌

Bravo！It looks more delicious than the one in the restaurant. Thank you for the recipe!I am gonna follow you.But what is a A/ P flour ?
Tha o you so much!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 A/p means “all purpose” when it comes to flour....
Ken Panagopoulos Got it!Thank you so much!
I can taste the sound of the crust.
You know it my brother!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi Ken, just curious can I make the dough in a stand up mixer instead and can I use self rising flour instead of waiting for the proofing part please thank you very much.
Hi. Ken won't message you because he died 2 years ago. Very sad.
Hi Ken! Loved this recipe! This is how real bread is made!
Where I live is really cold,any ideas where I can proof the bread?
Really love your channel! Say hi to Mitso for me!☺👍👍
Thank you!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Turn on your oven for just a minute or two; turn it off and you'll have just a hint of warmth. That is how I have always proofed my dough.
Thank you for your great advice Eileen!!! 👍🙏🏼❤️✌️💪🙌
@@eileenromeo3434 that's great! Ty!
Yes, you can proof it in the microwave
Hi Ken. In the description you list the ingredients but there are no directions. Do you have a print version of the recipe that includes the ingredients and the directions? I’ve been looking for a good recipe for Greek bread and this is exactly what I have been looking for.
Hi. Ken won't message you because he died 2 years ago. Very sad.
I make them thin in the shape of french baguettes. That saves a lot of energy, only 25 min of baking.
That totally works too. Thanks for the comment!!! 👍🙏🏼✌️💪🙌
You seem like such a nice guy....
Sincerely Victoria
Thank you Victoria!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@KensGreekTable BLESSINGS
Beautiful. Thanks. I will make it this weekend. The bread will be yellow because of the olive oil, right? I have always wondered...
Thank you so much!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 The bread won’t change colour because there isn’t enough olive oil in the recipe to affect it....
@@KensGreekTable wow, thanks. But in Greece at the bakery stores you can buy these simple breads withe sesame seads on top, and the bread is slightly yellow. Why is that? I miss those bread, but yours looks exactly like those and I can't wait to bake it :)
I baked it. It is great. Thanks. I like to put some greek olive oil on it with a pinch of sea salt, it's superb. Next time I need to add a little more salt to the dough. :)
I mean, on the slices, instead of butter :)
euxaristo for the video. do you not rest the dough after shaping before putting in the oven?
nb251 in this recipe, the dough gets baked off right away and it works well. Feel free to rest the dough when you make it:-))
@@KensGreekTable thanks so much for your reply. I followed ur way, its in the oven now will share picture when its done.
Thanks!!! Please do....
Hi Ken - great recipe but can you please confirm how many grams your packet of yeast is? Many thanks
Thank you Katherine!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I use the standard 7-8 g. sachets….
@@KensGreekTable Thankyou! Can’t wait to make this! Take care
Looks delicious. You state you add 1/4 cup olive oil yet the directions call for 1/2 cup. Is that 1/4 cup difference what you used to coat the bowl for proofing?
Exactly Bob. That 1/4 cup difference is the additional oil needed to coat the bowl....
Hi Ken, I made your bread it rose beautifully but it spreads in the oven. I even put in a loaf pan and the top was flat! What can I do??
Thank you
Hi. Ken won't message you because he died 2 years ago. Very sad.
So Ken, help me out here I'm an American, what does 500g come out to? About 3 cups? Is it all-purpose? Euxaristo!
Haha yes, it’s all purpose flour Dina. I use the weight measurement because it’s a European recipe but you can find all kinds of weight and measurement converters online....
Uffff👌perfect👌😋 you should do ASMR😂😂 it looks good😂😌
Haha thanks very much!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Ken I am attempting your bread recipe and I’ve tried two times today, but my dough is not bubbling when I get to the proofing step, I left it in a warm spot and I failed both times, do you have any tips? Any suggestions?
Oh no.... try putting your oven on the lowest possible temp. setting and put your dough in and let it proof for 1 hour. When you put the dough in to proof, immediately turn off the oven and just let it sit in there.... that should do the trick. If not, check your yeast.
Ken Panagopoulos thanks ken I’ll try next time and I will let you know thanks again 👍
One more thing you using op flour correct?
👍✌️💪
Yup. Just keeping it simple with regular old a/p....
How much water exactly? or close to it please
As much as it takes. Water gets added slowly until the dough pulls away from the bowl clean.
What's the proper temperature of water u need for the yeast
Luke warm is fine. Not cold because the yeast won’t activate and not too hot because you’ll kill it.... good luck!!!
Thanks
Hi! Can I use other oil?
You could but it wouldn’t have the same flavour....
Thank you so much!
Ken, we are making this bread right now, and our dough looks nothing like yours! After adding about 1/3 cup additional water, the dough seemed to come together (no visible flour), but looks so heavy. Yours looks very soft. Do you have an idea how much total water (including the amount for yeast) you typically use?
Hey Eileen, thank you for your comment. There is no real exact measure of water for this recipe. It’s basically the amount that’s required to bring your dough together and all you need is a little packet of dry active yeast. Don’t worry about the heavy look. It will rise and lighten up when it proofs. For a lighter loaf, let the dough proof for about 2+ hours in a warm place. Good luck and let me know how it turns out...
Ken, we discovered our mistake after watching and listening again and again! The typed ingredients list shows 1/2 cup of oil. We put all of it into the bowl with the flour, and that's what made it so heavy! The finished loaf was a mess -- very crumbly inside and pasty feeling on the outside. We threw it out. Today's attempt using just 1/4 cup oil for the dough looks just right. It is proofing right now. Will let you know later how it comes out!
Ok good... sounds like you’re on the right track now. Just don’t rush the proofing. Good luck (again) and I’ll be waiting to hear how it went this time....
Teleio
Thanks Chris!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
A P all purpose?
You got it....
I used spanish olive oil.
I’ll pretend I just didn’t read this....
I was so happy to see this video so I tried making village bread last night, 4 times in fact, but I failed at it Big Time!!! I don't understand where I went wrong. I followed the recipe, but the bread didn't rise very well and it was super dense, so much so that the center was still raw after the cooking time. Talk about being Frustrated :/ Maybe I should just go to my village and find me a Greek man who cooks like you do :D
Love your recipes :)
Haha thank you Stacy!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Perhaps your yeast was not fresh??
Chef Wan taught us always mix the dried yeast with warm water and a pinch of sugar as Ken did but wait until it bubbles.
I wonder why he didn't proof the 2nd time before putting it to bake. I think I will proof the 2nd time before baking so 100 % it will rise.
tattoos... ugh
I know I know, they’re a great source of pride for my mom too. She’s still hoping they’ll wash off.... 😂😂😂
