Walnut and Olive Bread

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.
