Gluten-Free Bread with Olives and Red Pesto

 This gluten-free bread with olives and red pesto is an easy appetizer recipe with intense flavors and moist texture. This savory appetizer bread will surely become one of your favorite recipes! 

This kind of recipe has actually become one of my all- time best recipes! It’s fail proof and you will be amazed by how soft, moist, and flavorful this really is. The possibilities of customizing this recipe are endless! Imagination is the limit. I’ve tried it so far in lots and lots of combinations, from mushroom and thyme toppings to scallions, roasted garlic, and even dry tomatoes!

I love the fact that this recipe is very versatile. The prep part takes max. 15 minutes and in about half an hour you’ll have an amazing appetizer recipe for your guests! It also looks rustic and homemade, which I love! 🙂

Since going gluten-free I started baking more. This doesn’t mean that I eat baked goodies every day, but once in a while, I love creating baked recipes such as this one. Savory ones remain my favorite!

You can make this recipe by using regular wheat flour as well, but if you’re gluten intolerant I recommend you to use the Schar mix I used too. I think it’s the best. 🙂

6. Grease a 30x10cm pan with some oil and powder it with flour.
