Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon fine salt; 1/4 teaspoon baking soda; 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 1 1/4 cups shredded Gruyere cheese (about 3 1/2 ounces); 1 1/4 cups small-dice cooked ham (about 7 ounces); 1/3 cup small-dice pitted Nicoise olives (about 1 1/4 ounces); 2 large eggs; 3/4 cup whole milk; 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick), melted, plus more for coating the pan

Servings: persons

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 cups shredded Gruyere cheese (about 3 1/2 ounces)
1 1/4 cups small-dice cooked ham (about 7 ounces)
1/3 cup small-dice pitted Nicoise olives (about 1 1/4 ounces)
2 large eggs
3/4 cup whole milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick), melted, plus more for coating the pan

1
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
2
Generously coat a metal 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with butter; set aside.
3
Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and pepper together in a large bowl until aerated and any large lumps are broken up.
4
Add the cheese, ham, and olives and toss in the flour mixture until the pieces are separated and evenly coated; set aside.
5
Place the eggs, milk, and melted butter in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth.
6
Add this egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir until the flour is just incorporated, being careful not to overmix (a few streaks of flour are OK; the batter will be very thick).
7
Using a rubber spatula, scrape the batter into the prepared pan, pushing it into the corners and smoothing the top.
8
Bake until the bread is golden brown all over and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (test several spots because you may hit a pocket of cheese), about 40 to 45 minutes.
9
Place the pan on a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes.
10
Run a knife around the perimeter of the bread and turn it out onto the rack.
11
Let it cool for at least 30 minutes more before slicing.
