About

Basil is an herb that is used in religious ceremonies in the Eastern Orthodox Church but is also part of the daily cuisine in Mediterranean countries. It is an extremely aromatic and well-liked herb; I don’t know anyone who does not love it. Be sure to pack the chopped basil into the measuring cup when you make this bread; you want lots of it in this bread. This bread is excellent with pasta and your homemade tomato sauce, and with egg dishes.
