Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

This has become a staple for Christmas Day and any other brunchy occasion in our family. Simple to assemble and absolutely delicious.

A delicious and remarkably easy to put together savory quick bread. Wonderful day-of and lightly toasted. We also like a variation with scallions, Manchego, olives, and piri-piri spice.

This is a really lovely loaf that smelled wonderful while baking & tastes great warm with some butter. This time I used a sharp white cheddar (as a suggested sub) and the optional scallions. I agree re: the amount of ham in the pic vs my loaf, but every bite where I do get some has an extra salty (& tasty :) bite to it. I will for sure make this again - next time with the MUCH pricier (in my stores at least) gruyere.

Delicious and easy to make! The picture seems to show more ham then my bread had.... maybe up the quantity. Will toast leftovers today and eat with honey, which should be delicious.
