"Again, I don't know where I found this, it's been saved on my laptop for years. It's another great recipe, and goes really well as a starter served along with a platter of fresh basil leaves, sliced tomato and mozzarella."

  1. This is a very nice and interesting bread. The texture is lovely - dense and soft, with a nice crust. It definitely tastes like olive oil, so be prepared for that if you make it! It would probably be good with some herbs added to it as well. Thanks for posting!
