Omg!! Made this for dinner tonight to go with a homemade lentil soup and it was to DIE FOR! I really wish I made 2 because everyone at the dinner table was literally freaking out over the bread. I replaced the Italian spice with garlic powder and baked for 5 more minutes. Thanks so much! Keeping this recipe forever!
