Delicious. The feta and olives did not overwhelm. I ate nearly half a loaf, just "tasting" this, so this was a big hit! Made for August 2011 Veggie Swap.

Great bread. I made this using 1.5 tsp of yeast but aside from that this was made as directed. It has made gorgeous buns that I now can't wait to make a sandwich with. I wondered about the small amount of salt but, of course, the feta and olives supply the rest. The dough is lovely to work with and it makes a soft, well textured bread. Excellent.

Made as written for ZWT6, this is some mighty fine bread. I had to add an extra tbsp of water as my ABM seemed to struggle in the 2nd kneading process. The taste is great, altho I admit to adding a bit of garlic as a pers pref. The texture is perfect, light & airy w/o being at all fragile. We loved it! Thx for sharing the recipe w/us. :-)
