I followed the recipe exactly and got a tough bread. I love breads, sun dried tomatoes and olives, but didn't like this one. If you have any idea what I might have done wrong, let me know and I'd be willing to give it another try--and change my review, of course. Sorry...

Fabulous, quick and easy !! Mine was minus the tomatoes as I had none but I used lots of chopped black olives and it was a huge hit served with soup. I will definitely do this again - probably tomorrow !!!!!
