Italian Black Olive Bread image

I have to say that my 2 favorite breads are roasted garlic bread and black olive bread. This bread is great served with any dish (specially Italian) or sliced and used to make paninis or bruschetta. My favorite way to eat this is hot out of the oven with some great creamy butter spread on a slice.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bread turned out really dense.

I had some trouble getting the bread to rise properly, but it still turned out okay.

This bread was a bit too salty for my taste, but other than that it was great.

I'm not a huge fan of olives, but I really enjoyed this bread. The olives added a nice subtle flavor.

This bread was absolutely delicious! The olives added a nice salty flavor, and the bread itself was soft and moist. I will definitely be making this again!
