"This recipe comes from a longtime friend who's also a great cook! She was kind enough to share her recipe with me. It makes a delicious, quick and easy bread that smells heavenly while it's baking! You may want to add a little basil or rosemary to the dough along with the oregano. Prep time does not include rising time."
