Earl Grey Tea Loaf

I haven't baked any cookies or bread for ages. The bread maker has been living in the cupboard for a year. It's time to take it out and check if it's still alive.

The first trial of the year was earl grey tea loaf because we love earl grey (as well as lady grey!) and the brand we are using now isn't that good. It's a great way to get rid of the tea bags. Yeah!

I used the recipe by Baking Taitai. http://www.bakingtaitai.com/2015/07/earl-grey-tea-loaf.html
But I didn't add in chia seeds. Instead, I added in the tea leaves from a tea bag to make the smell stronger.

The funny thing was that I forgot to put the kneader in the machine. I just realised that after I pressed the start button. Goodness me... Luckily I managed to rescue the bread.

Next time when I make the same loaf, I'd put in a bit less water because the bread was a bit too moisturised for us.


The bread didn't look appetising... There are marks on the loaf because I rested in on a steaming rack. LOL
