People are astounded to learn I make this savory Italian bread from scratch in less that an hour. With this recipe from my brother-in-law, warm slices are a delicious and easy alternative to garlic toast. I'll sometimes use this bread as a snack or appetizer.

I have been wanting to make this recipe for a couple of years. Tonight I did. It was easy and quick, but I did not like the taste. The thyme was a little overwhelming. I know I could switch the herbs to my liking but I was rating the recipe on the recipe as stated. And as stated, I wasn't thrilled, nor was my bread eating family. I will try again with different herbs and spices. Thanks again for the recipe!

I made this in my bread machine using the dough setting. I had some thin spots, so next time I'll need to make sure I pat it evenly in the pan. The bread was delicious. I added some oregano to the dough and used olive oil instead of canola oil.

Very good and quite easy to make for a yeast bread! I've made this many times.

Instead of the spices called for in the toppings, try 1/2 tsp. each of the following: onion powder, garlic powder, seasoning salt, paprika, cumin, curry powder, plus 1 tsp. dried parsley flakes; sounds like a lot, but we like it. It makes it kind of spicy.Also, try adding the spices to the dry dough ingredients; it makes it more flavorful.Lastly, before adding the cheese try topping with sliced pepperoni or fully-cooked cubed turkey.

This is one of our favorite recipes. We make it quite often although never quite according to the recipe. :)
