We loved this savory bundt cake a lot. It was bread dough stuffed with sundried tomatoes and anchovy. Seriously good. Mostly I prepare sweet bundt cakes, but savory bundt cake recipes are also worth the time, I found out. I served it for breakfast and lunch, and it was perfect. It’s good to serve at Christmas, but also at Easter, a potluck or any brunch or lunch. At all of them, it would be a hit.
To prepare this savory stuffed bread bundt cake you’ll only need a handful of ingredients. It’s a store bought bread box, water, butter, sundried tomatoes, anchovy and cherry tomatoes. The cherry tomatoes are to decorate the cake. The sundried tomatoes and anchovy provide the savory flavor to the bread, since they’re mixed through the dough. The recipe comes from the cookbook Sfeervol December from Sonja van de Rhoer.

Review
Only left out a few extra ingredients. You can stuff the bread also with olives and decorate with Pigeonnet d’Armor. The latter isn’t sold in regular grocery stores, and I thought that tomatoes and anchovy would be enough.
