I have made this bread about a dozen times for several people and they have all raved about it. It took a little tweaking here and there to get it just right, but now it's my go-to bread. I can make a meal out of this and some roasted garlic and olive oil. I would recommend not adding the salt to the dough until after you have mixed in the yeast, water and oil. Direct contact with salt can kill the yeast and my first attempt never rose because I added the salt to the flour/yeast mixture before the water. Other than that, fantastic recipe!
