I have tried several but this one from Gourmet is my very favorite anchovy bread recipe, Very tender bread with fantastic flavor. It is best served the day it is made. When you cut it it has spirals of the seasoned oil. Read more . Reheat leftovers gently in microwave when a day old if it lasts that long! Ingredients:
dough |
( or one can use frozen pizza dough , bread dough or your own pizza dough recipe ) |
