Love your eggplant recipe with bulgur and dried fruit, as you know.
The basil bread looks delicious too. I sent the recipe to a friend and she wonders why you write to turn the bread over during baking.
I routinely turn my breads over for the last 5 minutes to ensure an even baking all through. If your bread doesn’t need that, skip the step! I detest under-baked bread as much as dried-out, over-baked bread. I guess you have to know your oven.
Thanks!
