Olive bread recipe

Did you have the chance to try my beetroot bread yet? Colour is quite funny and the taste is really good. But this olive bread was just amazing. I do not have words to describe how wonderful it was.

You can really taste olive and you can eat this bread without adding anything. You have a piece of south of France in your mouth. The bread itself is tasty enough. I was really impressed because the next day, bread was still soft and delicious. I will bake soon another batch. And you?
