Ingredients
 5 eggs
 150 Milk
 250 Flour
 1 Baking powder
 80 Grated Parmesan (or Grana Padano)
 1 Olive oil
 100 Pitted black olives (or 100 g of black olive tapenade)
 2 Olive oil (not needed if you are using tapenade)
Directions
1

Start by pitting the olives and blending them with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil to obtain a puree.

2

Prepare the batter. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk. Add the flour and the baking powder and mix again until you achieve a smooth texture.

3

Divide the dough into 2 equal parts (about 320 g of dough per bowl). In one bowl, add the grated parmesan and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix until smooth. In the other, add the olive paste and mix as well.

4

Preheat the oven to 180°C, static heat. Line a 26 cm loaf pan with parchment paper.

5

Place the dough in the mold, alternating to achieve a marbled effect. I added 3 tablespoons of each dough at a time.

6

Bake and cook for 45 minutes or until the wooden skewer comes out dry.

7

Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then unmold and let cool completely.

8

Serve warm or at room temperature.

9

To finish, it keeps for 3-4 days in the refrigerator, in an airtight container.
