    I made this last night for our supper guests. It was an huge hit. Everyone loved it and I loved how easy and quick it was to make. I stuck to the recipe, but added the cheese and fresh basil in the last 5 minutes. The color was perfect and the texture was right on. Next time I'm going to add more toppings just to experiment, but it's so good as is.

    Wow. This is incredibly easy to make and tastes delicious. It really took me just one hour to make the bread and it rose and browned beautifully. I topped my bread with the olive oil, parmesan, a bit of sea salt, a light layer of an artichoke & caper tapenade I had in the frige, and then some sliced fresh tomatoes. Really, you could go nuts with toppings on the bread and try a lot of different combinations. It's a versatile recipe that I know I'll be making again, even during the week (did I mention it only takes one hour for this bread, start to finish?!?). Thanks for posting such an easy, excellent recipe.

    I've made this bread several times and everybody loved it. I recommend adding the cheese during the last five minutes of baking, otherwise it gets too dark.
