Walnut and Olive Bread

by Edward Daniel

Walnut and Olive Bread evokes this rustic evocative image of the Mediterranean countryside. Bread is much easier to make than you think it is. It is a case of mixing in the ingredients and allowing them to process. For the results and the consistency, I prefer I leave this to prove overnight ready for the following day.

What to do next

Tag me on @ethiveganquantum on Instagram to show me what you’ve made and let me know you’re happy for me to share.

My recipes are featured in vegan speciality publications: Nourished, Vegan Life, Plant Based and Vegan, Food and Living.

Order my first self-published book, “Essence: The Beginner’s Guide to Veganism” part of the three-part Circle of Food series. My second book “Presence: The Ascending Vegan” – which explores how to maintain a vegan practice is out in 2027 – I have compiled all the chapters including recipes.

Going strong since 2013.

Love.
