The best thing about this bread was definitely the grilled cheese sandwiches made with it the next day. The outside got nice and crunchy! I bet this would make very cool, sophisticated and savory French Toast! Thank you for posting! Made for ZWT5, for the Groovy GastroGnomes.Reply

I loved this bread, though I did change it a little bit. It was so soft. I didn't have an egg and I didn't have 1 cup of milk. So I replaced the milk with 1/2c. half n half and 1/2c. buttermilk. I also didn't have fresh herbs so I replaced them with dried and also didn't have chives so I just used some fresh fennel. I buttered the rolled out pieces of dough and put some minced garlic on them along with lemon zest. So I changed it up a little bit but I know it would have still been a five star recipe even if I hadn't changed it! Thanks for posting this!Reply
