  Very easy to make, extremely tasty. Excellent with Spiced Lentil Soup, as suggested.

  As said, very easy and very tasty! Made the dough 3-4 hours ahead and it was perfect.

  Could this be frozen and then reheated in the oven to thaw? Sounds so quick and easy it would be nice to make a big batch to have on hand

  I made this last night and it turned out awful, I'm still not sure why. It was hard and tasted like dough. I doubt i'll make it again.

  The Olive oil made for a bitter taste and have since replaced with a basic sunflower oil with what would seem to be more successful...would make again and again though as kids love them with their curries or soups! :-)

  I had really high hopes for this as the dough was a great consistency. But I think I made the mistake of shaping them like buns and they were only OK. Perhaps if I had flattened them, like the picture, they would be better.

  Sorry for being silly, but does it *have* to be sparkling water? The bread looks gorgeous, but I can't see myself nipping out to buy special water for it.

  I made this and it was so easy but had a lovely taste / texture. I served it with baked camembert for a starter and the flavours worked well together

  Can anyone please tell me what this picture of a spring-form cake tin has to do with the recipe for 8 individual pieces of bread? Could Good Food help here?

  The other item in the photo is probably Sicilian Potato Cake, from the same magazine article. http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2763/sicilian-potato-cake

  This is a wonderful recipe. It is quick and easy. One tip: Mix ingredients by hand. I will be using this recipe to make a house warming gift for our neighbors. (In Germany it is Customary to give bread and salt to new home owners)
