Lemon Bread a quick and easy savoury lemon bread with lots of olives and jalapenos. Quick bread is American style bread which is leavened without yeast or eggs and doesn’t require as much time as traditional bread needs.
I wanted the bread to be filled with lots of flavors so I added olives and jalapenos to make it more zesty and delicious. The bread was for a get-together at a friend’s house and that’s why I couldn’t take any pictures of the inside. But it was really amazing and full of exotic flavors and freshness of lemons.

Wow, that is one flavor packed bread. Looks so inviting.
I made this bread a few days ago. I used all wholewheat flour. The recipe called for 2 tablespoons jalapeno pepper. I used 2 teaspoons but the bread was stil quite hot. However, the texture was great. I will make it again, but with less pepper.
Is this a typo? Thanks
Hey Lana, Thanks for trying the recipe. Using whole wheat is a nice and healthy idea.
We love eating spicy food. I used the exact amount of peppers but as you mentioned the use of fewer peppers, I am glad it worked for you.
Thanks
I made this recipe and followed the measurements exactly. It is more like a thick biscuit and salty and inedible.
Hey Andrea, It is sad to hear that it did not turn out well for you. It came out well for me, I am not sure what went wrong for you.Maybe the oven settings or something else.
