1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan, and set aside.
2 Add flour, sugar, baking powder, kosher salt, cayenne, and granulated garlic to a large mixing bowl, and stir to combine.
3 In a separate bowl, combine egg and milk, and slowly drizzle in melted butter. Add egg mixture to flour mixture, and stir until dry ingredients are just moistened.
4 Stir in Cheddar cheese and deli ham, and fold in olives. Batter will be stiff; do not overmix. Pour into the prepared pan.
5 Bake in the center of the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
6 Cool in the pan about 10 minutes, remove from the pan and cool on a rack, about 10 minutes more. Using a serrated knife, cut into slices and serve warm, or at room temperature.
