I followed the instructions without making any substitutions and it went together very well. I only needed about 3/4 cup of buttermilk - the green pepper seemed pretty wet so that may be the reason. I didn't use a baking pan; I shaped the dough into a log instead and placed it on a cookie sheet. It took the entire 40 minutes to cook through, but started to get very brown after 20 minutes. I covered the loaf with foil to prevent it from burning. The finished product was very pretty, the tomatoes turned the bread a pleasant orange color which nicely contrasted with the green peppers. My DH and DS enjoyed the bread; I thought that 1 teaspoon of fresh ground black pepper is too much.
