This loaf is easy to prepare for the newcomer to bread-making. There is no yeast, and the bread is very dense. Great as a side to pasta and salad.

For a beginer at breads this is easy and fast. I made my own sun-dried tomatoes which added a better flavoring than store bought ones. You have to try this one!!!

This is disgusting. The bread was way to thick and had a dull flavor to it. The crust was incredibly hard and it was grainy in texture. Had one peice and threw out the whole loaf. Waste of good herbs

I thought this was great. I made some substitutions because I didn't have everything - a combination of parmesan and port cheese (weird I know but it worked) instead of cheddar and oregano instead of parsley. I also added sunflower seeds just for kicks. Very easy & I'd make again.

This bread was very easy for a beginner like myself. It tasted pretty good but needed to cooked quite a bit longer than the receipe indicated.

A fun bread to make. Easy and a nice compliment to Italian dishes. Next time I make it I am going to add more onion and garlic and a pinch more salt. I think this would be scrumptious if toasted with a bit of butter too.

Great recipe! I had no yeast on hand and this HIT the spot. Very moist even the next day (didn't last any longer and there's only two of us!) I used mozzarella instead of cheddar and sauteed the garlic with some finely chopped onions before adding it into the bread - then sprinkled on more garlic cheese and onions on top. Will make again - my husband thinks he likes it better than yeast bread but I'm not sure.:)
