Savory Loaf with Cheese, Olives and Herbs

Over the course of the pandemic, we baked, baked and baked some more. I got tired of sugar so was excited to find a savory loaf bread - especially given how much thyme we had growing on our roof. Thank you Melissa Clark. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9-inch loaf pan (or line it with parchment). In a large bowl, whisk together 2½ cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1½ teaspoons baking powder and ½ teaspoon baking soda. In a smaller bowl, whisk together ¼ cup olive oil and 1 cup dairy product like buttermilk or plain yogurt. Whisk in 2 eggs. Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry. Now, switch to a rubber spatula and fold in ¾ cup olives and 1¾ cups grated cheese. Finally, add a tablespoon or so fresh thyme or other herbs.
