Olive Bread Recipe
Here's a quick olive bread recipe that is a classic offering at cocktail hour in France. Savory quick breads are often served as appetizers in France. They are called cakes and will include different vegetables and meats. You might find bacon and prunes included together, or feta and basil, or salmon and zucchini. I'm sure you can think up your own wonderful taste combination.
The olive bread recipe given here is a classic combination you will find hosts all over France serving up at l'heure de l'apéritif (cocktail hour). It features
pitted green olives
I need to note too for those of you who are used to following non-French cake recipes that the order of mixing the ingredients is a little different. I am always alarmed when I follow a French cake recipe by adding the eggs right into the flour as a first step, but it works out, even if it is a little lumpy along the way. To serve the bread, let it cool completely, then cut it into one inch cubes for bit-sized enjoyment. Delicious and easy.
