Olive & Onion Quick Bread
I’ve been baking for over 50 years and I never get tired of trying new recipes for my family, friends and co-workers. Baking actually relaxes me. I feel like an artist creating a masterpiece of love. This savory loaf makes a great gift. —Paula Marchesi, Lenhartsville, PA

This bread is delicious - very good flavors and on the hearty side. I left out the olives because I don't really enjoy them, but it was still quite good. I also used dried rosemary as I didn't have any fresh around. Glad that I remembered to adjust the ratios for dried vs. fresh though - putting in a lesser amount of dried rosemary kept the flavors in balance. Overall, this bread was tasty and very easy to make and not at all time-consuming.
Easy, quick, delicious, and a bit different. It’s definitely a savory bread so don’t expect a traditional sweet quick bread. I didn’t have fresh rosemary so I used a heaping tablespoon of dried instead, which I sautéed with the onion in order to release more flavor. I served it with butter but I think pepper jelly would be really good too and will try it next time.
I disagree with the other reviewer (sooper??). This is a delicious bread that I’ll make again and again. It’s got the right amount of rosemary, onion and cheese flavors that pair so well with the olives - yum!
I really thought this was going to be sooper but the flavor was poor. :(
