I am so excited to share this recipe with you, it's really good! I came up with the idea the other day at work when I was making our Mediterranean Quiche which has feta, olives, onion, peppers and sun dried tomatoes. This bread is such a great snack but would also be amazing served with chili or soup. I love the saltiness of the feta and olives and the crust has a great crunch. This recipe is a snap to make and keeps well for a few days in an airtight container.
Mediterranean Bread
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp sugar
1 egg
1 cup milk
1 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp grainy mustard
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 cup feta, crumbled
1/2 cup mixed peppers, finely diced
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
2 tbsp sun dried tomatoes (packed in oil), finely chopped
1/4 cup black olives, pitted and chopped
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a loaf pan.
In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, oregano and sugar. Add the peppers, onion, feta, sun dried tomatoes, and olives and mix through the flour.
In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, egg, butter and grainey mustard. Immediately pour over the flour mixture and mix until combined (the mixture should be quite thick).
Pour into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes or until lightly browned on top.
Let the bread cool before slicing it.
That looks delish--love the veggies and really love the olives in the bread! As always, another great baking adventure!
