52 Weeks of Baking: Basil Cheese Bread
One of my New Year's Resolutions is to bake something every week, preferably something I haven't baked before. So I've been going through all of my cookbooks and magazines and looking for recipes that inspire me. Since one of my other New Year's resolutions is to eat less sweets (I give this one 1 month tops), I've decided to start off with a nice savory bread.
