Buddha's Greek Harmony Bread image

It is said that Buddha gave this bread as a gift to Greece during his visit there. Once the Greeks tasted it, they immediately converted to Buddhism.... Ok, not really, but my Buddha did come up with this bread on his own. and it's really good, easy to make, and the aroma is wonderful. :)
