Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 deg F. Grease a 10" inch bundt pan and dust flour to ensure the inner surface is completely coated. Keep aside.
Add the fresh tomatoes to a high speed blender and run it until tomatoes are fairly pureed. Now add the sun dried tomatoes and pulse for 30-40 seconds until the they are chopped down to smaller pieces. Keep this mixture aside.
In a large bowl, add the flour, salt and baking powder. Mix well. Now add the chopped basil, olives,pine nuts and mix again.
Slowly add the pureed tomato mixture in to the bowl. Then add the olive oil and mix until all the ingredients are just combined.
Pour this mixture in to the bundt pan and bake for 55-60 minutes. Insert a tooth pick near the center and see if it pulls out clean to check if the bread is done.
Let the bread cool a bit. Place a plate inverted on top of the bundt pan. Holding both the plate and pan, turn it over to let the bread 'pop put' on to the plate. Serve warm.
