My family loves this bread, and I've made it for church dinners, too. In the summer, I like to use fresh herbs from my mom's garden. You can vary the herbs and substitute your favorites. -Martha Smith Orient, Ohio

This bread was too dense for my liking. I think I would have preferred a lighter bread.

This bread was a little bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had used more herbs.
