Soda bread with pesto & olives

Soda bread with pesto & olives

Lately I have been really enjoying my weekend dose of cooking & baking (the Real Housewives of the Black Country coming to your screen soon!). I have posted this recipe originally about two years ago now but thought – you know what, I bake this bloody bread at least once a month so might as well brush off this old recipe & repost it for you to enjoy (with a touch more experience of a seasoned baker – yeah, right – me). Here it is – my ridiculously delicious (yes I’ve said it!) soda bread with pesto & olives.

Originally I found the recipe in my favourite cookbook – it’s called Step-by-Step Cook’s Encyclopedia (bought in it Asda for a fiver almost a year ago – now I can only find it on Amazon here for £23). If you’re a beginner then I can’t recommend this book enough – the recipes in it are fairly simple (you don’t have to go out and buy 5234534 ingredients you otherwise wouldn’t need), they show you every single step in a photograph and although it’s not specifically called a budget recipe book, it’s definitely at least pocket friendly. And don’t forget to check out my other bread recipes here.
