Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with about 5 g of the olive oil and line it with parchment.
- Heat another 10 g of the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the bell pepper for 5 minutes until soft, add the garlic for 30 seconds, then stir in the spinach until wilted and any liquid cooks off. Spread on a plate to cool for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, oregano, black pepper and red pepper flakes.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, yogurt, milk and the remaining olive oil until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the flour mixture and fold just until no dry streaks remain. Fold in the cooled pepper-spinach mixture and about three-quarters of the feta.
- Scrape the batter into the pan, smooth the top and scatter the remaining quarter of the feta over it.
- Bake 55 to 60 minutes, until the top is deep golden and a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then lift out and cool on a rack at least 45 minutes before slicing into 12 slices.
