I have been growing sweet basil at home. How do I care for it?

I know you have to pluck the little white flowers that grow, but can you just cut the stem where they are growing? Or is just plucking better? I want more bushy basil. Cutting the stem seems easier because those flowers grow so fast! Help!!!
