Ingredients list for the Olive, Bacon, and Cheese Bread
- 5 fl oz (15cl) of white wine
- 3 1/3 fl oz (10cl) olive oil
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder (about 5g)
- 5 ounces (150g) grated Swiss cheese or cheddar
- 1 large onion
- 3 1/2 ounces (100g) of bacon
- 7 ounces (200g) city ham, already cooked — sold as “ready to serve”. Still, on the bone, it’s better! If you don’t want to bring back the whole ham at home, ask your butcher to slice it off for you.

- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Directions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the wine, oil, eggs, and salt.
2. Separately, mix the flour and baking powder, sift and stir into the liquid preparation.
3. Chop the onion finely and sauté in a skillet with bacon for a few minutes until the onion is translucent and the bacon is cooked. Drain and place on a paper towel to absorb any cooking fat. Set aside.
4. Slice the olives and parsley and cut the ham.
5. Add all ingredients and grated cheese to the basic preparation and mix.
6. Pour into a buttered loaf pan, 9 by 5 inches.
7. Bake in the oven for 1 hour at 360°F (180°C).

It I a 5 star recipe - but what did I do wrong? It is so dense -and I know I baked it long enough. I am thinking to use self-rising flour plus the the 1 tsp of baking soda. It is delicious but dense. If I "toast" it is YUM but I feel it should be a tad lighter. where did I go wrong?
