Made for the Goddesses of ZWT-9, DH & I both loved this bread. Except for the addition of garlic powder equal to 2 cloves of garlic, it was made as written. The texture was lovely & the feta flavor very subtle. It was slathered w/butter while still warm from my ABM & was perfect to accompany Recipe #361372, #361372 by PaulaG plus a lightly-creamed soup that cleaned the fridge of all the leftovers -- A yummy meal! Thx for sharing your delicious recipe w/us. :-)

Loved this bread!! Use the dough cycle on my bread machine then shaped loaf ...let it rise for 45 minutes then cooked for 22 minutes in 375 degree oven. Turned out perfect. I did brush bread with an egg white right before baking.

This is a delicious bread, which I opted to start in my bread machine and finish in the oven so I could shape it. I used kalamata olives for a more Greek taste and they were perfect. Made for ZWT #9.

Based on a report from class of third graders, I give this recipe a 4. My son had a Greek project to do for school and we chose cooking. I liked the ease of using the bread machine. I personally wish my olives hadn't turned out so tiny, but the machine did that. My son loves feta and expected to be able to taste it in the bread. so he was alittle dissappointed even though he said his food entry was chosen #1 over everyone elses. Will probably make again and shape the loaf myself to keep the olives in form. Thank You Annacia!!!

I made this without the olives as I don't like them. The flavour fell a bit flat probably because of the missing olives. I am surprised that the feta cheese did not come through more in bread.. Based on my results I don't think you can substitute the olives out of the bread. So if you like olives - make this bread!
