Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cheese & Olive Bread

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat together eggs, milk, and olive oil until smooth.
Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Fold in cheese, olives, and fresh herbs until evenly distributed.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
Lightly spray the top with olive oil to encourage a golden crust.
Bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack.
