yum. Very rich and flavorful. But, man, is it rich! My store didn't have enough plain feta, so I used plain and feta w/basil and tomatoe. It was very good. DH and the neighbors think so, too!

Made half a recipe for the two of us and we still have some left. Great stuffed bread that was served with The Ultimate Greek Salad and left over Greek-Style Turkey Burgers.

I loved it! I am fairly new to breadmaking, and this was the first bread-related recipe I've made that's turned out. I made up to step 3 by hand, then used the breadmaker on dough setting to finish up. It rose like crazy too! (My breads have never done that) The mix was lovely, I added half a smoked chicked breast fillet too. The dough rolled out easily and was lovely to handle. Great recipe.
