Susan Fletcher
These are two different types of olives. I made the recipe using pitted Kalamata’s and it was quite nice. Why would one want to substitute Nicoise unless they REALLY disliked Kalamatas? I did let it rise a little bit before baking.

I would only change 1 thing and that is to use 100% whole-wheat frozen bread dough or a loaf that I make myself. As for the reviewer who is confused about kalamata olives vs. Nicoise olives: they are similar in taste and generally interchangeable in recipes.
Melissa Miles
Why is it Kalamata bread if you use Nicoise olives??
