I made this bread in my Kitchen Aid stand mixer, I use dried basil, added in 1 more tablespoon olive oil, increased the white flour by 2 cups and increased the yeast to 1 tablespoon, I used toasted walnuts and omited the gluten, this bread was simply fabulous! Thanks Carole!...Kitten:)

Mmmm, very good! I made this by hand, and like a previous reviewer, baked it at about 340. Took about 50 minutes. I waited for the tell-tale 'crackle' of the crust.<br/>Wonderful flavor. I forgot to add the garlic (although I minced it... sigh) but it was wonderful anyway. I can see adding some shredded cheese on top before baking to make a cheesy herb bread.<br/>Thanks!

Absolutely loved this bread! I made it in my breadmachine, on the dough setting, and then shaped it into a loaf, and allowed it to rise for a couple of hours. I baked it at 350 for 40 minutes, and it's perfect! I did use 2 tsp of fresh garlic and basil (each). Thanks so much for sharing this fantastic recipe!
