Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (finely chopped)
- 0.5 cup Pitted black olives (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (grated, optional topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and olive oil until smooth and creamy.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, black olives, and fresh basil until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with your spatula.
If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the batter for extra flavor and a golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
