I don’t know about you, but I love bread, in any form or shape. It makes me feel safe and satisfied.

I should eat less, I know, and I try.  However, there is nothing better than a warm slice of freshly baked bread with butter, or chunks of bread dipped in good soup or a stew . 

To see how much I love a good piece of bread, take a look at some of my recipes.

What ingredients you need for this specific version of the bread:

• All purpose flour
• Baking powder
• Large eggs
• Vegetable oil
• Dry white wine (yum)
• Green or black pitted olives
• Ham/Bacon/ Spanish chorizo – buy pre-cooked ham and dice it.If you use bacon, it needs to be cooked and crumbled for even distribution in the batter.
• Bell pepper chopped small– whatever kind you like. I prefer red bell pepper for sweetness but, really, anything works.
• Mild cheddar cheese
• Salt and pepper

What other ingredients you can use for this bread

First of all, this is a very versatile bread as you can use all or just few ingredients based on your taste, budget, availability or dietary needs.

• Green onions diced small
• Sun dried tomatoes
• Mushrooms– fresh or from a can (drain them well)
• Asparagus (fresh or frozen)
• Spinach (fresh or frozen- but needs to be drained really well)
• Gruyere cheese instead of mild cheddar, goat cheese, Swiss cheese, Monterey cheese or any combination of cheeses you like

As you can see it is indeed a versatile recipe. This bread it is definitely an opportunity to clean up the fridge and use up all kinds of leftovers, from cold cuts to vegetables and cheese. 

Whatever you use, good quality ingredients will make a difference in the final product. Always, no matter what kind of recipe you make!

Remember, cooking is love made visible and also, there is no good food made out of bad ingredients.

You also don’t need any fancy utensils. No mixer for this one.

No kneading, no nothing. You simply mix the dry ingredients with the wet ones and dump everything into a  baking pan. How easy is that?

Yes, you can. It freezes beautifully and reheats well too. 

This bread is an opportunity to clean up the fridge and use up all kinds of leftovers, from cold cuts to vegetables and cheese.
