OLIVE OIL IN BAKERY PRODUCTS

It's quite long since olive oil is used in baking products in the area where is grown(Mediterranean cooking) .Normally we are using butter or margarine in our baking needs ,as it is believed that strong taste and thick texture make olive oil less desirable for using in bakery products.Recently, I tried a cake made by using olive oil instead of butter and  it was yummy..!! beleive me there is very minor difference in taste and in fact the texture was also very light.If we use olive oil in bakery not only it cuts the cholesterol but saturated fat also.Olive oil is rich in vitamin E, maintain freshness of product and create moist bakery product.

But still if you are finding strong flavour by using extravirgin olive oil this problem can also be solved by using extra light olive oil :)
