Olive Bread

Much though I love making bread by hand a bread machine can’t be beaten for convenience – particularly if you like fresh bread in the morning but don’t fancy getting up at 4:00 a.m. to bake it! You still control all the ingredients and can adjust them to suit any allergies or sensitivities in the family.  This Olive Bread is a favourite of ours – the breakfast time aroma is just wonderful!

Method
 

  1. Add all the ingredients, except the olives, to the bowl of the bread machine.
  2. Select the programme appropriate to your machine for medium whole wheat raisin – about 5 hours. Use the delay timer if you want it for breakfast.
