Wow, what a delicious and easy-to-make bread! I haven't baked for ages and a recipe like this was exactly what I needed to get me back in the habit. I kneaded this for about 5 minutes -- just for the exercise. Used fresh chives and dried oregano. The kitchen was quite chilly so the risings took extra time, but I had already allowed for that. Thanks for posting such a great recipe. Better go start another loaf now because the first one is long gone. By the way, my photos are before and after baking.

Super easy and delicious. I'm not a baker at all and chose this as I thought it would be more forgiving than other breads for a beginner, and it was! I had no problem getting this to rise and bake beautifully. Really tasty savory bread with crusty outside and soft inside. This will be in our regular rotation for sure.
