Notes
- We used Kalamata olives for this recipe, however you can use any type that you like best.
- Gruyere cheese can be substituted with any light Swiss cheese.
- You can use 1 cup of self rising flour in place of the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- This bread can be frozen for up to 2 months. Let it cool completely, slice it to your desired thickness, and store in an airtight freezer bag.
