This was made up tonight. I did not include the half stick butter in the ingredients, but it was used, nonetheless. Very delicious on the outcome.

2 cups lukewarm water
1 packet dry active yeast
1 packet active dry yeast
1 heaping Tb pesto sauce (I use Classico)
1 packet Lipton onion soup recipe mix
1/2 tsp salt
4 oz pitted kalamata olives, chopped small
4 cups all purpose flour

Chop olives into small pieces.

In a medium size mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Stir until blended. Let sit a few minutes until dissolved.

Add pesto, onion soup packet, salt and chopped olives. Mix well. Gradually stir in flour, a little at a time, until it becomes a dough.

Cover with a damp paper towel or plastic wrap, loosely. Let sit and rise one hour.

Melt butter slowly over range or in microwave (I do several 25 second intervals on cook power 3, until melted).

Put into bread pan or skillet. Add dough and blend. Cover with paper towel loosely. Let sit 30 more minutes.

Preheat oven to 350.

After 30 minutes, remove paper towel and place skillet or pan in oven. Bake 45 minutes, or until browned on top.

Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes.

Y’all Enjoy!
