Very pretty presentation! Loaded with salty green olives in a savory cheesy bread, this really hits the spot along-side a thick soup on a cold winter's evening. Try it with Potato & Ham Soup OR Clam Chowder. Enjoy the colors when you cut the slices!

Tips:

  • For a moist and tender crumb, use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour.
  • Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients combine smoothly and evenly.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the bread.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the bread set and prevent it from crumbling.
