QUICK SAVOURY LOAF

What a way to spend Sunday after the preparation , cooking and service of a special occasion last night .
One booking left , 2 classes to go and then ...that's it for the year .
And what a year it has been ...!
But today the 2nd of December 2018 I made bread , in my kitchen for me .
Making bread is a great way to unwind ......
Here we go ......
Preheat your oven to 180 deg C
Spray a loaf pan with cooking oil and a sprinkle of fine polenta .
Sift 250 gm  of plain flour into a large bowl with 1 tsp of baking powder .
Now make a well in the centre of the flour and add 4 eggs one at a time ....but make sure they are lightly beaten before adding ....
Stir until just blended after each addition.
Add 125 ml of a dry white wine ....
125 ml of rice bran oil and stir until smooth .
Now stir in 250 gm of diced ham
150 gm of diced  salt pork  ( available in the deli section in the supermarket )
150 gm of  sliced pitted black olives .
150 gm of grated parmesan cheese .
Season with cracked black pepper
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and simply bake for 30- 40 minutes until risen and a skewer inserted comes out clean .
Let the loaf cool in the pan for about 15 minutes .
Then turn out on to rack to cool completely .

Can be served warm or at room temperature , best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator , to serve leave on your bench to reach room temp ....
I love to slice and grill  the savoury loaf and spread with mint jelly and pastrami , best breakfast , lunch or a quick tea on the run ...
