Tea Bread

Here's a trick to make your regular old white bread recipe really pop: Add tea!
I usually do this in a bread machine, since I can put it on an overnight timer, so the tea has plenty of time to steep. It's good in other bread dough too.

Ingredients

Use your regular white bread recipe. If you're using a bread machine, it probably came with a recipe.
Most of these call for:
-Flour
-Oil (not pictured)
-Water (not pictured)
-Sugar
-Salt
-Yeast

I add: tea! Some kind of fine bagged tea, ideally one with a lot of flavor. Pumpkin ginger is good, chocolate teas, etc. My favorite is pomegranate black tea.

For proportionality, my recipe uses 4c flour, and I put in 2 bags of tea.

If your bread is on a delay timer, make sure that the yeast isn't touching anything wet.

Put It in the Bread Machine

With pomegranate black tea, it smells deliciously fruity through the whole process.

Mm, Tasty Bread!

Delicious bread when the bread machine beeps!
Slice and enjoy.
A little butter really helps to bring out the tea flavor in the bread.
