Steps
Sequence Step
1Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease an 8-inch loaf pan.
2In a food processor, whipe the flaxseed and water together until thick and creamy. (If you prefer, you can skip the flaxseed meal and water and add Ener-G Egg Replacer instead. Mix according to package for an amount that equals 3 eggs.)
3In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the flours, baking powder, rosemary, basil, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the flaxseed mixture, milk, and olive oil.
4Add the wet mixture to the dry and fold until the dry ingredients are moistened. Add the walnuts, olives, and tomatoes, and fold ust until the pices are distributed; the dough will be stiff and sticky.
5Scrape the dough into the loaf pan and spread evenly. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 60 minutes.
6Let cool in the pan on a rack for 5 to 10 minutes before unmolding to cool completely on the rack.
