Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (drained and finely chopped)
• 0.5 cup Kalamata olives (pitted and roughly chopped)
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 Large eggs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and dried oregano.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, chopped Kalamata olives, and grated Parmesan cheese, ensuring the mix-ins are evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and eggs until fully combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should look lumpy but cohesive.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the surface with the back of a spoon or spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. This bread pairs beautifully with soups, salads, or as part of a charcuterie board.
