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 shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 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 for greasing the loaf pan)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, olive oil, and eggs until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread light.
  5. Gently fold in the shredded cheese, pitted olives, and thyme (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly across the pan.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown; check doneness with a skewer; it should come out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
