This rustic olive bread recipe is mediterran and easy in the making. During our hikes and skiing, the snack was always the best. It was simple but so good; Cheese bread, soda and apple wedges I can still remember exactly the taste of it. A piece of good bread is almost unbeatable. Enjoy the recipe!
