The bread was very light, rose quick 1 hour and second rising 1/2 hour.I used the food processor to make the dough.This was very good. I baked for 30 minutes.Besides the oiled pan I used corn meal to help it from sticking.Which was a good thing because I found it to stick to the sides where there was no corn meal.I also added thinly sliced onions. 5 Roasted garlic cloves was stirred with the rosemary and anchovy. SHHHH my DH doesn`t know he ate anchovy`s. This dough will be used again and again.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
