Basil French Bread

I got a bread machine!! It's something I've been curious about for a while.

I love bread and experimenting with them sounded like a good thing. And my manual talent for breads ... wasn't so hot.
So one was on sale, and I got it!!!

Here's a bread I tried, with basil.

It's delicious with pasta, but on it's own wasn't too appealing. The crust could have baked a little more, but still a success!
