Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 0.75 cup pitted black olives, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 1 piece large egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.

Step 3

Add the chopped rosemary, black olives, and minced garlic to the dry mixture, stirring until evenly distributed.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 2 days.
