Have you ever tried using olive oil in baking? I used it in salads and cooking too but never tried it in baking. Olive oil has a certain distinct smell and taste that differentiate it from other oil. I usually use vegetable oil, canola oil, palm oil, butter, or margarine for baking. Any idea how is it in baking? How is the taste?

We use olive oil in baking all the time. How do I explain to you what it tastes like if you've never used it?

@rakski Yes, that's the best way to find out how it makes bread taste. I wish I could tell you so you'd know before buying olive oil. Sorry.

I don't use olive oil too, we also use what you use. I think there's not much difference.

I use whatever oil that is in the cupboard when it comes to baking. Cookies I use butter, sometimes half shortening. My pie crust is all shortening- I stopped using lard long ago due to it not being heathy.

I am Italian, we ONLY use olive oil in baking. Use a good one, not a fake one colored. Margarine and palm oil have a terrible taste and they are not even healthy.

I don't use it for baking. Mostly it's margarine that I use.
