I made this bread a few hours ago and it is gone already,my husband ate almost the whole loaf by himself,I thought it was delicious too,being made in a bread machine it was very easy to make,the hard part was smelling it and waiting to eat it,it smelled wonderful.I made it exactly like the recipe said,but I think next time I will put a little garlic in it.I would give it a 5 star rating

I substituted nutritional yeast for the milk powder to veganize this, and black instead of green olives, and it turned out absolutely fantastic.

I have a large bread machine that does 2lb loaves. Both times I have made it it has overflowed my bread machine and made a huge mess. I have followed the instructions to a T and still poor results. I am disappointed as I was looking forward to trying the bread UPDATE: I originally gave this recipe a 1 star rating for the above mentioned reasons. I then started to make the dough in the bread machine and bake in the oven. This is my hubbies favorite bread. He spreads cream cheese on it and devours it.

The flavor of this bread is excellent. We called it "pizza bread", as I used black olives. My daughter thought adding chopped pepperoni would be good too. The next night, with the leftover bread, I made grilled cheese sandwiches using mozzarella cheese. These were a big hit! I think it would be good to add some fresh spinach, pizza sauce and mushrooms to the grilled cheese as well.

Wow, I did not expect this to have such a wonderful texture! I expected it to taste great, but I never thought it would be so good to use for sandwiches. It is PERFECT for sandwiches. Everyone in my family really liked this, so I'm sure I'll be making it often.
