This bread is fantastic! I followed the recipe exactly and I let it mix in my bread machine and rise twice but baked it in the oven. How I did this is, I put the dough on a non-stick sheet on a tray in the middle of a cold oven and put a tray of boiling water beneath the dough to help it rise while I was out of the house. I was gone for a little too long and it over rose, collapsed a little to a foccaccia bread style, but I turned the oven on at 170 degrees C, kept a good eye on it (even kept the water on the tray beneath it) and it was wonderful. Not real keen on the olive oil and black pepper, to serve it with, I think I'd prefer a ranch sauce. Fantastic taste, just perfect as written. You could take this bread to any dinner party, friend's house or gathering and everyone would love it. Oh yeah, I let the yeast sit in the water for 10 mins until frothy.
