Sun-Dried Tomato Olive Bread, a fast and easy Italian No Yeast Bread. A Delicious Bread which is Stuffed with Olives and Sun-Dried Tomatoes makes this the perfect Snack or Appetizer.

Sun-Dried Tomato Bread

I 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 first learned about this bread when I was visiting my mother-in-law and of course, I am always up for a new recipe and she was 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 she asked, “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”?

Bread slices in a blue basket.

Of course, she did and here my friends is a delicious savory Sun-Dried Tomato Bread with Olives. This bread is so tasty 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.

Ingredients

  • Flour
  • Chopped black olives
  • Chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  • Basil
  • Oregano
  • Baking soda
  • Baking powder
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Greek yogurt
  • Milk
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Recipe Steps

What I love about this recipe is that it’s so easy. Since you don’t need yeast, that cuts down on the work which means you get a loaf of fresh-baked bread even faster.

Grease & flour the loaf pan. Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C) while you prepare the batter.

If your tomatoes are packed in oil, be sure to pat them dry first and then mix them with the olives in a small bowl.

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the yogurt, milk, and olive oil. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, oregano, basil, salt, and cheese.

Wet ingredients beaten in a white bowl & the dry ingredients whisked in a white bowl.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones a little at a time. This will prevent lumps in the batter. After you’ve mixed them together, add the tomatoes and olives and stir.

The batter beaten and dried tomatoes & olives folded in.

Transfer the batter to the pan and bake the bread for 40 minutes. Cool the bread before slicing and serving.

Tips and Suggestions

Be sure to add the flour mixture slowly to the wet ingredients. This will keep lumps from forming and will also prevent overmixing the batter. Overmixing will overwork the flour and make your bread chewy and tough.

Although it’s tempting to slice it while it’s hot from the oven, it’s best to wait until the loaf is cooled. This will also allow the flavors from the tomatoes and olives to develop giving the bread an even better flavor.

This sun-dried tomato bread is wonderful with some butter or serve slices with a green salad with a tangy dressing or bowl of vegetable soup or cauliflower soup. You might also like it with a platter of sliced cheese, roasted red peppers, and antipasti skewers for an appetizer or snack.

The first time I made this Sun-Dried Tomato Olive Bread, I took a loaf to my mother-in-law’s. It was enjoyed by all. I’ve made it many times since and it’s always delicious. Easy and full of flavor – just the way homemade bread should be. Buon Appetito!

      This looks amazing. Do you think I could try it with almond flour? Trying to cut carbs and all but I want to try this.

      Thanks so much!!

        Hi Kim, I have never made this with almond flour, you could try, I think you might need more egg to bind it together. Let me know if you try it.

        Hi Lynn, I just re made it for an instagram reel and the dough is not dry at all. I think you must have left out a liquid ingredient. Let me know.

      My first attempt in bread making was a disaster so I scoured the Internet looking for an easier recipe for a newbie like me with ingredients I already have available in the pantry. I stumbled upon your site by accident. I watched your video and told myself: “Hmmm. This is easy peasy,” and the no knead part made me all the more excited.

      So I made this today for the first time and I love it. It does tastes like pizza. I added bacon bits on top as a slight modification 🤭. I will definitely save this recipe and will keep making them for my family. Thanks for sharing. ❤️

      This bread looks amazing and I’d love to make it – What would you recommend as a substitute for eggs in order to make this loaf vegan?

        September 21, 2021 at 5:30 pm

        Hi Amy, I have never made this with a vegan egg replacement, although I know you can buy one, I think it is called Ener-e egg. You might want to try that. I hope that helps.

          Thank you for your response. I did find another way that I might try – Using milk of choice and white vinegar to create a curdle. Ought be interesting…..

      I love the look of your sundried tomato and olive bread,would natural yogurt work instead of Greek yogurt ?

        Hi Les, thanks yes that would work, but since natural yogurt is thinner, leave out the milk. Let me know how it goes.

      I made this bread this morning, did two loaves at the same time, and added some roasted garlic I had roasted a few days ago …squeezed garlic into the dough . I had no dried basil so cut up fresh. This bread is lovely, really really nice….am makinf your chicken with roasted peppers tonight to accompany the bread not the other way around.
      Thank you for another wonderful recipe

      What can I substitute for olive and sun dried tomatoes? I dont like neither but I love bread.

        Hi Amanda, I have never tried this bread with a substitution and I made the bread specifically for dried tomatoes & olives, so maybe try my beer bread or soda bread. Both are yeast free also. https://anitalianinmykitchen.com/beer-bread/. https://anitalianinmykitchen.com/irish-soda-bread/ Hope that helps.

      Your dried tomato and olive soda bread sounds delicious. Do you think I could substitute buttermilk instead for the Greek yogurt and milk ingredients? I make my plain soda bread with buttermilk. Thanks
