  Delicious bread - great flavour. I had basil infused oil which I used instead of olive oil but it wouldn't change the taste that much. Preparing the vegs was fiddly enough but assembling the dough itself was a doddle. Nice change from tomato bread!

  Really lovely bread; I was very pleased with how it turned out. I've made it 4 times now, and it comes out great every time. Personally, though, I found the sprinkled sea salt a bit much and left it off after the first loaf.

  It tasted great, but the dough was very wet and really hard to knead because of that.

  It has a good flavour, lovely with soup. I also found that I had to add quite a bit more flour, and that the salt on top is not necessary.

  The salt will be to draw out the water from the courgettes - leaving this step out will make the dough sticky... if you rinse and squeeze enough times the salt shouldn't effect the flavour. Starting to prefer this to sun-dried tomato bread!

  Delicious bread! When I make it next time, I'll be adding more salt, though - but then I was very thorough with the washing of the courgette so maybe that was why it didn't taste salty enough? It's quite fiddly getting the vegies ready, but it's worth it in the end. Very tasty, wholesome and different.

  This was very easy to make although I did have to add a lot of flour when kneading it because it was quite wet, despite having squeezed out as much liquid as I could. I would add more garlic and salt next time to give more flavour, but otherwise love it!!

  I thought this was going to go horribly wrong as I added the courgette mixture when it was still hot to the flour mixture. However, after allowing it to double in size I placed it in a square sized baking tin and added some rock salt (rather than sea salt) on the top. Result - it was delicious. I cooked it for 30 minutes, but then turned down the heat a little and cooked the bottom side for an extra 10 minutes.

  We made this bread in a breadmaker - but it was a bit soggy in the middle - although it was still very nice. It either needs more flour or just cooking longer. It went well with the chunky minestrone soup.

  After making this bread today, I love this bread! Its so easy to make and has a great flavour. I personally didn't put the fresh basil as I didn't have any to hand, but without it, it tasted so lovely. I also didn't put the rock salt as I don't think it needs it. I also added more flour when kneading as the mixture was a little too wet and then hey presto a wonderful rustic loaf that can go with so many things, I will certainly be making this again and again.

  My first go at bread and it turned out fine. Used wholemeal bread flour and the sort of yeast you have to whisk with a bit of hot water and sugar to activate. I'm not so sure it doubled in size after kneading but did expand a little, certainly once in the oven.

  I love this bread but I think I might try it with Wholemeal flour next time. Has anyone else tried it with Wholemeal?

  Our Bread Club just made this, it was delicious. Some added extra Basil. Most agreed the dough was very sticky and had to add more flour to knead properly. A couple of points were raised, 1.Should the recipe read Strong flour not PLAIN flour? 2.there are two cooking times given so go by your oven conditions (mine always cooks higher temp than on the dial). Everyone who made it really enjoyed it, one member used Parsley instead of Basil and white not chestnut mushrooms, another used one third wholemeal flour instead of all white. We all agreed we would make it again.

  I made this for the first time today and will probably be making it every day now- It is delicious! I used groundnut oil by mistake and used rosemary instead of basil, don't want to try it with basil now! It's very good too, cos I'm vegan, I am recommending to all my friends : ) Will be trying it with wholemeal flour too...
