    Great bread! Nice crust and soft inside, tasted delicious even the next day. When you first start kneading the dough it looks like it will never come together. Don't be tempted to add any liquid at this point, just keep kneading it and after several minutes it will all bind and you'll add up with nice smooth dough. I would definitely make this again.

    This was delicious but I used a bread machine for the kneading process. When using a bread machine, you should only knead the dough for about 3 minutes not the 5 to 8 minutes suggested for manually kneading the dough.

    Easy to put together and very flavorful but way, way heavy. Next time I'll cut the flour and see how it goes.

    We found this to be a heavy loaf of bread. More success was using yeast as the leavening.

    My son went to Greece last year and brought back a LARGE can of Kalamata olives. I didn't know what to do with all of them. I'll make this recipe again! This is not a yeast bread - somewhere between a heavy biscuit and a quick bread. I've adjusted the recipe for next time by increasing the olive oil (in the bread to 1/3 cup and deceasing the flour to 3 3/4 cups. Great Kalamata Olive Flavor.

    This bread looks and tastes fantastic. I found the directions a bit vague, though. It said to roll the dough in a ball and then place on pan and I did, and I ended up with a great crusty bread that was not cooked on teh inside. So I had to cut in half and let it cook for another 30-45 minutes. I love the tip about glazing it with milk and teh onions add a great smell and taste. Will do it again, just flatten the bread out a bit this time.
