WOW, what a great surprise this bread turned out to be and my family does not like mushrooms. We loved it. Only recommendations I have would to add a little bit more flour, the juices from the sautéed vegetables made the dough a little bit to sticky, so as it was kneading I added about 1/2 cup more, a little bit at a time. I did not want to loose the flavor from the vegetable juices, so next time I will probably add more flour from the get go. If you don't have the Leeks, you could add sliced green onions and probably even shallots chopped up as a substitute. The bread is moist, very flavorful and was a huge hit with the entire family. It is going to be bread I make often.
