HBin5 Bread Challenge #6 - Olive Spelt Bread and Carrot Bread

Time for another HBin5 Challenge. I have to start with a confession: I broke my book. There I said it. The binding on my book has broken from using it too much. All that page turning was hard on the binding. Fortunately it broke on the page with the Whole Wheat with Olive Oil Bread because I make that recipe every week for pizza.

On to the challenge. The trickiest part was buying the olives. I bought these olives that were stuffed with pimentos. They seemed like they would work.

I had read what some other people were planning and thought it would work great for a pizza crust especially since my husband loves olives. I rolled it out thin.

On top I put left over shredded pork, sauteed onions, garlic, roasted grape tomatoes, some herbs and goat cheese. Baked at 475. I must say this was one of the most delicious pizzas we have made.

Just posting this pizza is making me drool. Two days later we made the rest of the dough into calzones and that was great too. Loved this dough.

The other part of the challenge was to make Carrot Bread. I am not a big carrot cake fan but I was sure this bread would not taste like carrot cake. I decided to make it onto cinnamon rolls for a after school treat. I omitted the coconut and used craisons for the dried fruit and added walnuts. I rolled it out threw on some extra cinnamon and brown sugar and baked. Topped it with the honey-cream cheese icing.

They turned out delicious and were gone in a blink. Two more great recipes added to our list.
