Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups V8 vegetable juice
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
• 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the V8 vegetable juice and olive oil.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a dense bread.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve the V8 Bread on its own or with your favorite spread. Enjoy!
