I love baking my own bread, and this Caramelized Onion & Spinach Olive Oil Quick Bread is my personal, favorite choice. It’s almost as easy and quick as baking a cake. This recipe does not require time for allowing the dough to rise, which means the prep time is just minutes.

I combine olive oil, garlic, onion, spinach leaves and mizithra, or you can use feta, for the filling, and it’s delicious! Pair it with a soup, or eat it as is, this crumbly, flavorsome bread is the best!
