Let No man Steal your Thyme

Thyme has been used since, well the beginning of time. It was used as part of the Egyptian mummifcation process. Ancient Greece burned it as temple incense, thinking it brought courage to those who smelled it. In Europe, it was used to ward off nightmares and placed on coffins to ensure passage from one life to the next. Today it is used as an active ingredient in Listerine and against brochitis, toenail fungus and as an antibiotic. Thyme is traditionally associated with the summer solstice, and this bread recipe is perfect to celebrate it.
