Serving size: 6-8 slices Prep time: 15 mins Bake time: 75 mins Total time: 90 mins Level: Beginner From as early as I can remember, I’ve always loved the aroma and depth of herbal teas. During Sunday morning dim sums, my family would have to cut me off after a few cups of warm tea so they wouldn’t have to deal with a caffeinated child for the rest of the day. In high school, a cold venti cup of unsweetened green tea was the perfect, refreshing beverage to end tennis practice with. As an adult, my tea consumption has provided...

After Sourdough Round v. 1, I had some random thoughts... I think I kneaded too much and squished out all of the air pockets. This needs more salt. Maybe I should try one of the recipes that the other girls are baking instead of out of a book that no one else is using. If I'm taking the time to bake a loaf, why wouldn't I bake two? I think I need another banneton (proofing basket) so I don't end up with one beautiful twin and one ugly twin! It was the second to the last thought in the list...
