This recipe was a real winner with the family. I omitted the olives, because no one but me likes them, and added about a half tsp of Kosher salt. It came out savory with a little kick of sweet, moist and extremely tasty. In the future I will add more cheese, and also some onions and various chili spices. Thanks so much for the great recipe!

A very tasty bread that was easy to do. My DH and I really liked this. Made in the 3 mini loaf pans. Can't wait to make it for company. Thanks PaulaG.
