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.

    Can substitute green olives for black olives, and cauliflower or sweet potatoes for broccoli.

    Delicious. I used kalamata olives and Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.

    What a fun recipe. I could see making this for visiting kids. We had it with tomato soup for a meatless dinner. Only changes - I added a little salt to the dough and might cook it a tad longer next time. We cooked up a couple of pieces in butter for breakfast - yummy!

    I love this recipe and like to serve it with a side salad for a fuller meal. I put way more broccoli in to basically cover the top completely and just bake it a bit longer than the recipe calls for to account for the extra moisture/ingredients on top.

    This was unique and delicious! I did not steam the broccoli ahead of time. Instead I sliced thin “trees” and stuck them into the bread dough before putting it in the oven. I added a half tsp of salt to the dough . I thought the bread turned out really well; there are many possible variations for this loaf!
