🔥 How to Make Olive, Bacon & Cheese Bread
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and olive oil until smooth and well combined.
Step 4: Combine Wet & Dry Mixtures
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or hand mixer until just combined—don’t overmix!
Step 5: Add Cheese, Olives & Bacon
Fold in grated cheese, chopped olives, and cooked bacon. If using parsley, mix it in for extra freshness.
Step 6: Transfer to Loaf Pan
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top evenly.
Step 7: Bake Until Golden Brown
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 8: Cool & Serve
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
