For a nuttier flavor, try toasting the sesame seeds lightly before adding them to the bread. If you don't have fresh basil, 1 teaspoon of dried basil can be substituted. Ensure your yeast is fresh for optimal rising. Expired yeast can lead to a dense loaf. To make the bread vegan, substitute the honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
