Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
Add the chopped rosemary, black olives, and minced garlic to the dry mixture, stirring until evenly distributed.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, olive oil, and egg until fully combined.
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.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
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.
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.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 2 days.
