Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1.25 cups V8 vegetable juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 cup sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 large egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, garlic powder, oregano, and Parmesan cheese until evenly combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the V8 juice, olive oil, and egg until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should still be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh parsley, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until 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 about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the bread on its own, or pair it with your favorite soup or salad. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
