Terrific recipe! I wanted the bread to get nice and crispy so I let the cheese get a little gooey but that was ok - it was delicious! The oil/lemon/oregano really makes this great; I made a little extra to make sure I had enough to brush over the kebabs after brushing on the bread. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!
