I made this following the recipe exactly using a mixture of butter and olive oil. The directions said to brush the cut sides with the mixture, but I found this hard to do, so I kind of spooned the mixture on the cut sides. At first I found the lemon too strong, but after 2 or 3 bites, the taste grew on me to the point that I like it very much. I think I just would have opened the aluminum foil for the last 5 minutes so the bread would be crispier. Thanks for posting!

I live with my husband, 11 year old son, 15 year old daughter, our dog, cat and fish :-) in Rhode Island. We're big Red Sox fans, and fans of everything baseball. My greatest passions, besides caring for my family (and baseball) are cooking, gardening, reading, and crochet. I try to crochet at least one afghan each Christmas for a loved one, and have made a few for charity. I'm a big collector of music and love to make cd mixes for myself and friends.<img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
