Olive-Nut Bread



1 1/2 cups (375 ml) all-purpose flour

4 tsp (20 ml) double-acting baking powder

1/2 tsp (2 ml) salt

Cayenne pepper to taste (optional)

1 cup (250 ml) whole-wheat flour

1 egg

1 cup (250 ml) milk

green olives, such as Kalamata or Nicoise

or pine nuts

1/2 tsp (2 ml) dried oregano, crushed



Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and optional

stirring just enough to combine. Add the olives, nuts, and oregano.
