I made this recipe today. It is indeed fluffy. Fluffed over the top of my bread mixer container. The flavor was O.K., but way too much fluff, not even browned on top. I will not make this again.

Thanks Rocco's for this """ WOW """ recipe. I only want to say it : THANK YOU for sharing and I will make it again. TY. Tasteful and smell like Haven , it is crunch outside and soft inside. PERFECT loaf of bread . Oh, Boy.

This bread is awesome!! My bf absolutely loves the texture and uses it for his sandwich bread! We make it every week for lunches alone.

This cooked up perfect in my bread machine. Nice size med loaf. I did have to add a bit more flour to the mixing cycle. I also added 3 small choped chili peppers. Makes great sandwhich bread, try it with a chicken BLT.

Great tasting bread! I made mine entirely in my bread machine and it worked quite well. I used a 5 1/2 ounces of olives in my batch and I did have to add a little flour during the kneading process. Just made a gourmet cheeseburger using the olive bread for the bun. Added some soy sauce to the meat, a little fresh pepper, and fried the bread right in the same frying pan as the pattie. Fantastic combo! Thanks Rocco.

My 6 and 8 yr olds are clamoring for more of this bread. I used two small cans of sliced olives, drained, and I upped the butter to 2 tbsp and increased the garlic salt to 1 tsp. This bread was so good, we were going back for seconds, and our dog snatched it off the counter! That's the first time he's ever done that, so I guess he'd give it a 5-star rating, too. Am going to make this again tonight for our church small group. Thanks for the recipe; my only advice to the person who had their olives macerated would be to use whole, pitted olives instead of the sliced ones. Or else, make the bread by hand without the machine. This is an easy, tasty recipe, wonderful with melted butter. **Updated 1/23/08** Used a cup of whole olives (pitted kalamatas and green olives) plus a can of drained, sliced black olives for variety. Love this bread! Great warm with melted butter! Kids, now ages 7&9 love it, too!

This turned out awfully. The olives were macerated by the bread machine and the whole overall taste was not good. The kids wouldn't even touch it and they love bread. As olive bread goes, I'd go find another recipe...

when my machine said to addd the olives, i needed to add more flour, the olives made the dough very mushy. Turned out wonderful, tho.
