Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 3 units large eggs
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 0.25 cups olive oil
• 0.75 cups pitted green or black olives, chopped
• 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray, and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the milk and olive oil, whisking until the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently stir just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped olives, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and rosemary until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Once baked, allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully remove it and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
