I tried this recipe. After reading some of the other comments, I tripled the amount of salt and put Yeast in the mix. The bread rose nicely and was well-knit, but it still had a lower than expected flavor. Perhaps the original recipe needs to be updated with either some Italian seasoning or additional salt.

Ideal bread for soup! We really enjoyed the savory flavors in this tasty bread as well as how healthy it is. Broke one of my own rules and read the reviews before making and fallowed another reviewer's suggestion of caramelizing the onions and adding a half teaspoon of dried herbs provence. Thanks for the tasty post.

this was very yummy. Mine did not rise not sure if it was supose to or not. But it tasted fantastic anyway. Made for RECIPE SWAP #14 - March 2008

I carmelized the onion and used garlic infused oil instead of veggie oil. Yummy

Definitely delicious! I can't wait to try toasting the leftovers tomorrow morning. Quick to put together and delicious. I upped the parmesan a little bit, as others did, in the bread itself. I think using different cheeses or adding different herbs will make a nice change for future loaves, although I just can't imagine getting tired of it just the way it is!
