The other night, we were at the end of a week’s vacation at the cottage and our bread supply was diminished. I had made several things during the week that required sun dried tomatoes, kalamata olives and had an open container of Feta cheese.

The result was, the leftover ingredients were used up and we had fresh and tasty bread for that night’s dinner and the next day’s sandwiches.
