  Gorgeous. Next time I'll press the onion and rosemary in slightly as they kept falling off. Beautiful bread though - fantastic with pasta dishes. I had it with the Toulouse casserole also - absolutely divine.

  Thanks Robyn, once you have mastered this bread you can add whichever filling to suit your taste. Chopped olives, sun-dried tomatoes or anchovies all work well as does scattering the bread with cheese half way through baking. Bx

  I made this while visiting a friend in Spain, She had plenty of fresh garlic from the local market so I used this, together with the rosemary. We ate it warm, fresh from the oven with local cheese..........Yum!

  This one should be made when nobody else is home, otherwise it is gone before you can even get a for piece yourself :) Brilliant!

  I made the dough in the bread maker and then followed as per the recipe. I made it for a party and it went down really well, the only thing was that I wasn't confident it was cooked through so added extra time which meant the onions were slightly over done. However now I know what I'm doing with it I would definitely make again - it really was gorgeous.

  Sounds good. Does anyone know if I can use wholemeal flour instead of white?

  made the original and then experimented with different toppings - anchovies and some left over hardened cheese was actually the best with olive oil drizzled liberally just as i removed it from the oven while still hot.

  This sounds gorgeous and I want to make it for a family party - does anyone know if it's as good if made ahead and frozen then reheated in foil?

  Really tasty bread which has been the basis for different toppings - sun dried tomatoes, olives, mixed fresh herbs and so on. Just make sure that you really press your chosen topping into the dough to ensure that once the bread is baked, it stays on the bread rather than falling off.

  Brought it into work today and it's gone down a treat. It did rise by quite a bit but I think that's my technique (and I'll be a bit more generous with the salt next time).

  Delicious. I topped it with thinly sliced potatoes (cooked beforehand), rosemary and truffle oil. Went down a treat with all the family.

  Plenty of salt, four cloves of garlic grushed with the Rosemary and onions made this awesome! What a fantastic and easy recipe. I did the dough in a bread maker. I added the two tablespoons of olive oil to the mix in the breadmaker.
