Olive Bread. This bread was a hit at a superbowl party that I went to. I added the bleu cheese as suggested by someone else who wrote a review it was a nice touch to an already mouthwatering recipe. We dipped the bread in seasoned olive oil it was sooo yummy!!

I have baked a lot of bread over the years.

Most of them have turned out delicious but not quite as good as the really good bakery bread.

That is until I discovered Olive bread.

This olive bread was one of the nicest breads I have had.

Roughly chop both the black olives and pimiento-stuffed green olives.
