  1. Very good but basically stromboli in a bread crust. I make using pizza dough no second rising needed
     
  2. Another great one Wildflour! This was super easy to make, tasty and nice presentation too. Filling possibilites are endless, a thought I had was to add small pieces of artichoke heart. With 2 loaves it makes a lot so the recipe could easily be halved. I served at a party with appetizers but my family really enjoyed eating the leftovers for lunch. Once piece of advice I would note is not to roll the dough too thin, I did and had a few spots the the fillings "leaked" out the sides while baking. The egg wash on the outside with the poppy seeds gives it that extra special look.
     
  3. Super recipe! It was devoured before I had a chance to take a picture. Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe! :)
     
  4. What a great tasting loaf! My supermarket's bakery used to make something like this years ago then abruptly stopped. I'm so glad I found this recipe, now I can make it as often as I wish. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. Made for ZWT4 Greek Photo Challenge.
