My Daughter asked me to make her son, my grandson some olive bread as he loves black olives.
I have just made some olive and jalapeno bread for myself and asked whether he likes jalapeno's, which he does.
Two olive and jalapeno loaves now in oven!
I make olive bread sometimes but put in sun dried tomatoes not chillis. It works out quite dear so not too often. I always used kalamata olives as we liked walking round that part of Greece.
One of my favourite FREE sourdough breads is an olive ciabatta loaf. I slice it horizontally and add fresh tomatoes and cheese and call it a "pizza".

Why not dry your own tomatoes Mark - and save a load of money. Nigella has a recipe for “moon blush tomatoes”. It’s brilliant. I dry all my surplus ones when they all come at once and then freeze them for adding to pizzas, breads and salads later on.
And I buy big jars of cheap olives in home bargains. They’re good enough for cooking with. Need a bit of tarting up with a bit of lemon zest, garlic and herbs if you want to eat them “fresh”!
Never had sourdough bread.
Is it complicated and does it taste much different?
Vinny sourdough sounds long winded but once you get into to it’s easy to fit around other things.
As for taste a lot depends how long you let it ferment, it’s a bit tangy sort of mildly vinegary. With a nice chewy crust.
