Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 large eggs
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup olive oil
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 0.75 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh dill, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk and olive oil, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, and gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the crumbled feta cheese, chopped Kalamata olives, parsley, and dill, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy as a snack, an appetizer, or a side with soups and salads.
