Oh, Pioneer Woman...

... how I love thee. I had just really discovered her when her show launched on the Food Network.... and now I haven't missed an episode and own both of her cookbooks. ;) Today, we had salad for dinner, so I thought it would be a good night to try that Olive Bread from her first cookbook that looked SO amazing.

AND IT WAS. :)



Seriously, this bread is some of the best I have ever had. I was very good and only had one slice (the spoonfuls of the filling to make sure it was "right" don't count, do they???) but WOW. Try this. Amazing.

Note: I changed it up a little from the original. My ingredients/directions are for how I ran with it. Just FYI. ;)
