OLIVE, BACON AND CHEESE BREAD

150 ml of white wine
100 ml olive oil
4 eggs
½ teaspoon salt
2 ½ cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
150 g grated Swiss cheese or Cheddar
1 large onion
100 g bacon
100 g cooked ham
100 g black olives
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 fry in a skillet with a bit of olive oil (or butter).
Add the bacon to onions and cook for a few minutes then keep aside.
Take care of draining the mixture to avoid a soggy dough.
Dice 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 180°C.
