Olive Oil instead of butter in recipes

Would this work for bread recipes? Does butter affect the fermentation of the dough? Any thoughts appreciated

butter vs oil doesn't significantly affect the fermentation process, but it does affect the formation of gluten.  butter prevents too-long gluten strands from forming, leading to a more tender product than oil would.  butter also can trap air which affects the texture of the dough, whereas dough made with oil is generally smoother.

swapping butter with oil will usually work, but the texture of the dough will probably be affected because of the differences in their behaviour.  the recipe may need further adjustment to get an acceptable result.

WHAT ABOUT USING OLIVE OIL IN INSTANT MASHED POTATOES INSTEAD OF WATER??

I tried making a sandwich with olive oil on it instead of butter.  It's a bit too runny.

Next week, I will mostly be eating yoghurt.

WHAT ABOUT IT?

it makes the dough more staler, harder to mould. butter on the other hand makes the dough squishy, gooey like.

Both butter and olive oil can make good tasting bread, none is definitely better.
