Pumpkin bread with olives
Pumpkin bread with olives is really delicious and it’s easy to make, just a bit of mixing and stirring, pop it in the oven, and, in about an hour, you’ll have a house smelling of sweet beautiful and healthy bread. This is a beautiful delight for a light dinner and it can be served with some salad by your own taste. I love the way how olives and the rosemary add the special taste to this bread.
