Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
  • 1 cup pitted olives (green, black, or a mix, drained)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme, optional)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted) or non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and grease your loaf pan with melted butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if using until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, olive oil, and eggs until fully blended.
  4. Add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; some lumps are okay.
  5. Fold in the shredded cheese, drained olives, and thyme if using, until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
  7. Bake for about 45-50 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a wooden skewer; it should come out clean when ready.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
