Bread with salty things in it. Sounds good to me.

I've been feeling super inspired this week in the kitchen. Hence all the new recipe trying. Clearly I need to get out more.
Bacon and Olive Aperitif Cake (but it's really a bread...)
from Laura Calder's French Taste

I tried this recipe this morning and it is wonderful. Same idea as your basic banana bread or lemon loaf, but savory. You don't need to eat anything with it, not even butter. It is so good on it's own.

1 & 1/4 cup flour
1 & 1/2 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup olive oil (or other cooking oil)
2/3 cup olives, pitted and chopped (green or black)
4 slices of bacon, cut up and cooked, not too crisp though.
handful of shredded cheese, gruyere or chedder
1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
salt and pepper

Heat oven to 350 degrees, butter and flour a loaf pan. Mix together the flour, baking powder salt and pepper in the bowl. Make a well in the centre. Add in eggs, milk and oil. Mix until just smooth. Add in bacon, olives, cheese and rosemary. Mix until combined. Pour into loaf pan and bake for 45 min.

Tastes great right out of the oven or room temp.
