History - Basil is a member of the mint family, and was known as the herb of kings in ancient times. In fact, its name may have been derived from the Greek word basileus, meaning "king"....
I have made this bread so many times that I have lost count. It is great with a spagetti dinner. You can also make the dough and shape into rolls which were a big hit when I made them for a ladies' salad lunch.
