Olive 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 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!

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.

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.
