Ingredients

• 250 grams Broccoli florets
• 180 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 120 grams Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 120 milliliters Milk
• 60 milliliters Olive oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Bring a pot of water to a boil, then blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes until tender but still bright green. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.

Step 3

Chop the blanched broccoli florets finely and set them aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk to mix evenly.

Step 5

Stir in the shredded Cheddar cheese and minced garlic to coat them with the dry mixture.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, olive oil, and eggs until fully combined.

Step 7

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 8

Fold the chopped broccoli into the batter, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 9

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
