Recipe Ingredients

2 cups chopped ham
2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese
1 1/2 cups pitted green olives, sliced
3 eggs
1 2/3 cups unbleached flour
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup dry white wine

Recipe Method

Prepare the Bread Toppings:
Slice your olives into thin round slices and set them aside. If you're using sliced ham, dice it.
Mix the Dough:
Combine the flour, baking powder and salt. In another bowl whisk together eggs, wine and olive oil. Make a well in the center of your bowl with flour mixture and pour in the whisked liquids. Mix them together until they form a soft dough.
Mix the Ingredients:
Add in savory ingredients. Add to your dough chopped ham, sliced olives and Gruyere cheese and mix them into your batter so they're well distributed.
Bake the Ham and Olive Bread
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Oil your baking loaf pan and pour in the batter. Smooth it on top and place it in the hot oven for 45 minutes or until it turns golden brown and the fork inserted comes out clean. Once it's baked, cool it and cut it into slices.
