2½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
3 medium eggs

Method

Ham and Olive Bread is a community recipe submitted by Mithai and has not been tested by Nigella.com so we are not able to answer questions regarding this recipe.

Pre-heat the oven to 425Â°F / 220Â°C / Gas mark 7.

In a large bowl, sieve in the flour, baking powder and salt together.

In a smaller bowl, break in the eggs. To the eggs, add the olive oil and white wine, and whisk together.

Pour the egg mixture to the flour, and mix to obtain a smooth lump-free batter.

To the batter, add the chopped ham, olives, and the cheese. Mix well.

Then pour the mixture to a greased loaf tin, and even out the top.

Bake in the oven for 45 â€“ 50 mins. (check with a skewer!)

Additional Information

Be careful with the salt, as it has already got ham and olives to make it a little salty. You can omit the salt altogether if you don't prefer excess salt.
