This is really, really good. I have made it twice so far and my friends and I loved it. I made with pizza dough and instead of the creme fraiche I used sour cream. Love the sweet leeks with the salty anchovies. Great flavor. I really like your idea (#11 in the directions) of adding raisins and will try that one next time. Thanks for posting!

Tasty, but rather a lot of leeks for my taste (or perhaps my leeks were just too big). During cooking, the roll split in a rather worrying way and leek juices spilt out; I was worried that this would mean the bread was too soggy, but everything turned out fine. Next time, I'll reduce the quantity of leeks, and will mash my anchovies better! :-)
