Tomato-Olive Bread

Here’s an unusual bread that teams beautifully with many kinds of soup. Try this with anything from hearty bean soups to light, brothy ones. Use your favorite kind of olive; it works well with most any variety.

Ingredients

makes 1 loaf, about 12 slices

2 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup wheat germ
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon natural granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
Pinch of dried thyme
1 cup rice milk, or more as needed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups finely chopped ripe tomato
1/2 cup finely chopped pitted olives, any variety
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

    Step 2

    Combine the first 8 (dry) ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir together. Make a well in the center and add the rice milk and oil. Stir until well combined, adding more rice milk as needed to make a smooth, slightly stiff batter.

    Step 3

    Fold in the tomato and olives. Pour the batter into a lightly oiled 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of the loaf tests clean. Let cool until just warm, then cut into slices to serve.
