Olive Bread
Olive BreadI love Carbs, all three types but in particular, Pasta , Rice and of course Bread. In my defence how can you not living in Italy? And this Sun-Dried Tomato Olive Bread sure makes it easy to love bread.
I was visiting my mother-in-law which I try to do at least a few times a week. It is so hard to believe that just last year she was fine and digging in her garden and planting and planting, and now she hardly remembers who anyone is.
She is never alone, her husband who is still in pretty good shape is with her along with my sister-in-law and her daughter.
After my sister-in-law and I have gotten the “how are you?” out, we then get down to the important stuff. That’s right food.
Sun-Dried Tomato Olive Bread
I am always up for a new recipe and she is always up for sharing. How we got on to bread I don’t know. But somehow we talked about the different ways to Dry Tomatoes and how we were so tired of Broccoli.
We couldn’t wait for Tomato season. And “have you ever tasted this amazing Sun-Dried Tomato Olive Bread that they make at the Bakery”?, “Nope, never had, why do you have a recipe”?
Of course she did and here my friends is a delicious savory Sun-Dried Tomato Olive Bread. This bread is so tasty sure it as an appetizer with some cut up cheese or even have a slice for a snack.
You can have this perfect loaf made and baked in an hour, and the best thing, no yeast so no need to wait.
So naturally I took a loaf of Sun-Dried Tomato Olive Bread to my mother-in-law’s. It was enjoyed by all. My mother-in-law even commented that her daughter was going to eat it all. Haha that sweet lady does remember some things. Buon Appetito!

I followed the recipe exactly. I found this bread delicious but a bit too dry. Do you think using the convection setting on my oven affected that outcome?I If I make it again is there anything I can do to moisten it up a bit? It really was delicious.
Rosemary says
Hi Karen, it could be that it was baked too long, try baking it a few minutes less (although make sure it is cooked through). Be sure to measure your flour by spooning the flour into the measuring cup and levelling it off evenly with a knife. Hope that helps. Let me know.
Grannymc says
I read all the comments and reviews and never comment. So easy to make and tasted like a professional had made it. On a wing and a prayer I used cream cheese as I’d no yoghurt or sour cream and mature cheddar instead of Parmesan. The crunchy outside and light inside I’ll be raving about for a long time to come. Thank you for keeping it simple. This recipe will not be feeding the birds tonight.
Rosemary says
Hi Grannymc, thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed it and the birds won’t. Sorry birds. Take care.
Atiya Abbas says
This recipe was AMAZING! OH MY GOD, the bread looks golden and moreish and is studded with jewel like sundried tomatoes, olives and fresh basil, i cant wait to make it again. Thank you!
Rosemary says
Hi Atiya, thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed it. Take care.
Billie says
Do you need a loaf tin for this or would it be the kind of consistency you could plait or shape?
Rosemary says
Hi Billie, this is a sticky dough so you won’t be able to shape it, although an 8 inch cake pan would probably work. Let me know. Take care.
Jane Prestigiacomo says
Hi! I really really want to make this bread in the morning. I don’t have any Greek yogurt so was wondering if I could use sour cream instead? Also could I add some finely diced fresh rosemary to the bread? Thanks! So looking forward to this bread!
Rosemary says
Hi Jane, yes you can substitute with sour cream and fresh rosemary should work too. Hope you like it.
Al says
Hi, I love the look of this recipe but would love to know what type of flour you would use. Plain, self-raising or strong white bread flour? Thanks!
Rosemary says
Hi Al thanks,I used Plain all purpose flour, I hope you enjoy it, let me know.
Wass says
Thanks for such a tasty recipe. I made the bread today and enjoyed it on its own then I had some with cream cheese, but I think I’ll try it next time with some feta cheese or even toasted.. Yum!
I’d like to just comment that the mixture was very thick and dense, and it took some effort to mix the last part of the flour, the olives and tomatoes. Since it turned out very fine, I’m assuming that’s how it’s supposed to be ????
Rosemary says
Hi Wass, sounds delicious with feta cheese. So glad you enjoyed it. And yes it was quite thick and dense.
Trina says
I’m so glad I was introduced to your blog, your recipes are amazing or at least they look amazing. I can’t wait to get in my kitchen and give them a try, this one will be perfect with my dinner plans for tomorrow evening.
Rosemary says

Hi Megan, the flavours are the best. Have a great weekend.
Isabelle @ Crumb says
This bread looks amazing! I never think to make savoury quickbreads, for some odd reason, but clearly I should change that… loving the combination of classic Mediterranean flavours you’ve used.
Rosemary says
Hi Isabelle, you should re-think it :), savory breads are the best.
cristina says
What a beautiful savory bread with all kinds of delicious flavors -and- the use of Greek yogurt! Looking forward to making this and must smell so good when baking…
Rosemary says
Hi Cristina, thanks, and yes the house smelt great, wonderful flavours.
Erika says
