INSTRUCTIONS
-
Step 1: Place the wine, oil, eggs, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well until combined.
-
Step 2: In another bowl, mix the flour and baking powder. Sift, then stir into the liquid ingredients.
-
Step 3: Finely chop the onion.
-
Step 4: In a skillet, melt the butter or heat a little olive oil. Once hot, add the onions and cook until softened. Add the bacon and continue to cook for a couple of minutes more. When done, set the onion and bacon mixture aside. To avoid soggy dough, drain the mixture.
-
Step 5: Prep the olives and parsley. Slice them and set them aside. Cut the ham, too, and set aside.
-
Step 6: To the flour mixture, add all the ingredients including the grated cheese. Mix well until combined, then pour it into a greased 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Place in a 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C oven and bake for about an hour.
