BACON, HAM AND OLIVE BREAD - Food Lovers Recipes

BACON, HAM AND OLIVE BREAD
150 ml of white wine
100 ml of olive oil
4 eggs
½ teaspoon of salt
250 g all purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder (about 5 g)
150 g grated cheddar cheese
1 large onion
100 g bacon (rindless)
200 g ham, already cooked — sold as “ready to serve”
100 g black olives (seeds removed)
100 g green olives
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

In a large bowl, whisk together the wine, oil, eggs and salt.
Separately, mix the flour and baking powder, sift and stir into the liquid preparation.
Chop the onion finely and melt in a skillet with a bit of olive oil (or butter).
Add the bacon to onions and cook for a few minutes then put aside, draining the mixture to avoid a soggy dough.
Slice the olives and parsley and cut the ham.
Add all ingredients and grated cheese to the basic preparation and mix.
Pour into a buttered loaf pan, 9 by 5 inches.
Bake in the oven for 1 hour at 360°F (180°C).

You could use this version that uses milk instead of wine.

Ek is bietjie underwhelmed, het dalk te veel verwag. Lekker maar dink die olie is te veel. Sal hom volgende keer maak met minder olyfolie, net die helfte olywe en dalk bietjie mieliemeel by vir meer brosheid. Ek het 2016 gesien (geproe) julle olywe is minder sout as ons s’n. Die stukkie sonder olywe kan agter gesien word. Dis ook lekker so.
