"This recipe came from my bread maker recipe book. It's one the few recipes that I really do from it. It tastes nice and smells great as well. Much better than a lot of herb breads. Worth a try."

A very nice bread. I made it in the ABM with great results. My house smelled wonderful as it was baking! Thanks for a keeper of a recipe.

I made this over the weekend, and it was great! Like other reviwers, I made it to the dough stage in the machine, then baked it up in a loaf pan. Definately will make this again. I love how beautiful the loaf is with all the flecks of green throughout. Thanks for a great recipe!

A tasty bread which looks good and smells delicious! Thanks to Nimzs' helpful review, I also used only the dough cycle, let the dough rise again, and baked it in the oven. I drizzled some melted butter over it towards the end of the baking time, which gave it a nice sheen. I'll be making this again. thanks for a good recipe :)

Thanks to Kittencal who converted this breadmachine recipe to the conventional way for me. This bread was so goood out of the oven. It had a perfect blend of flavors and browned perfectly in my oven. I will definitely be making this scrumptious bread often.

I love this bread. Very flavorful and easy to make. I did use warm water and I found I needed to add a few more tablespoons to get my flour incorporated. I don't like to bake in my breadmachine so used only the dough cycle. Then removed the dough to my bread pan and let it rise again for about 45-50 minutes, then baked it at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Yum, Yum. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.
