Drain the olives well and incorporate them into the dough along with the walnuts, diced ham, and grated cheese. Turn the dough into the cake pan.

Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until an inserted knife comes clean. Remove bread from oven. Place on cooling rack for 8 to 10 minutes until slightly cool. Turn the loaf out of the pan. Slice and serve warm.
