Ingredients
  

For the Bread Base
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour can substitute with whole wheat
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder for rise
  • 1 teaspoon salt enhances flavor
  • 1 cup milk can substitute with almond or oat milk
  • 1 large egg acts as a binder
For the Flavor

  • 3/4 cup chopped olives green or black, pitted
Optional Add-ins
  • herbs (e.g., rosemary or thyme) fresh or dried
  • red pepper flakes for a warm kick

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Loaf Pan
  • Oven

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat together the milk and egg until fully combined. Gradually pour into the dry ingredients and fold until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in the shredded cheese and chopped olives until evenly distributed.
  5. Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper. Pour the batter, spreading it evenly.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until golden brown and springs back when pressed.
  7. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Don't over-mix the batter to maintain a fluffy texture. Allow bread to cool before slicing for cleaner cuts.
