Potato Olive And Sun Dried Tomato Bread
17 Nov 2009
I have been baking breakfast breads for a while now and they are all sweet, invariably. So this time around I decided to bake a brunch bread instead and make it really savory. After scouring several of my books, I settled for this recipe from Australian Women’s Weekly "Potato" cookbook. I love the olive and sun-dried combination so much, the slight zing of the olives is so perfectly balanced by the chewy sweetness of the sun-ripened tomatoes, not to mention it’s a very good combo for a very healthy diet. And then there was potato too. I made this bread and followed the recipe to a T. I was very happy with the result. The bread was crusty and dense. We toasted it, topped it with sweet chili cream cheese and salad leaves and enjoyed the impromptu brunch affair in our backyard very much.
