This is the perfect emergency bread which is healthy, very soft inside with a crunchy crust and particularly kids friendly. My kids couldn’t stop eating it, that’s how much they were loving it!

And because this particular bread was born from an emergency situation, you can stay reassured that it’s the perfect quick fix as a family bread to accompany any meal or simply as an after school snack or even better as part of your kid’s lunch box. So versatile yet very quick and easy to prepare!

I call it Mediterranean bread as it contains very peculiar Mediterranean diet plant-based ingredients like olives, capers, sun-dried tomatoes, oregano and extra virgin olive oil.

These are all very popular elements in the Italian cuisine and represent a great healthy addition to this nutrients packed bread.

The kids couldn’t stop eating this bread!

Crunchy and tasty nutrient packed Mediterranean bread.

An easy and quick bread recipe full of flavour and goodness.

Ingredients

Ingredients for a small loaf

1 cup self raising flour/ any self raising gluten - free works too!
1/2 cup water
4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons of capers
2 tablespoons of sun-dried tomatoes
3 tablespoons of green olives
2 teaspoons of mixed seeds
1 tablespoon of Philadelphia cheese
1 teaspoon of oregano
1 teaspoon of paprika
1/2 teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt

Instructions

Preparation

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. If you prefer you can chop the olives too. I didn’t do it because my kids love olives so I didn’t need to disguise them!

Pour the dough in a rectangular silicon mould previously brushed with some oil to prevent the sticking.

Cook in a preheated oven for 20/25 minutes at 180 degrees and voila!

  What size pan do you use and I assume you are using celsius for the oven temp?
  Is this recipe easily doubled?

  Hi Beth, I’ve used a mould which is 25cm x 10cm. You can definitely double up the ingredients if you are using a bigger one. Also I often use this recipe to make the bread in the shape of small buns too. Totally up to you! And yes it’s Celsius for the oven. I hope you enjoy the result! Let me know xxx

  I have never tried almond flour in particular for bread so I’m uncertain what to advise. I’ve used self-raising gluten-free mix of flours (which is sold as 1 product) in the past and it worked just fine. I guess you could give it a go maybe adding some raising agent hopefully the result will be good! I would love to have a feedback if you try it xxxx
