Ingredients (serves 8):
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped sundried tomatoes
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 eggs
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure to use crumbled feta cheese instead of sliced or grated, as it will distribute more evenly throughout the bread.
- If you don't have fresh basil, you can substitute with dried basil, but use only 1 tablespoon instead of 1/4 cup.
- For a more intense tomato flavor, use oil-packed sundried tomatoes instead of the dry-packed variety.
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Add the crumbled feta cheese, chopped sundried tomatoes, and chopped fresh basil to the bowl and stir to combine.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, olive oil, and eggs.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
