-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 Good Earth Cinnamon-Herb Blend Tea Bags
3 C Water
1 1/2 C Date Nuggets
2 Tsp Instant Yeast
2 1/2 Tsp Salt
2 C Unbleached White Flour
2 C Whole What Flour
1 C Oat Flour
2 Tbsp Oil
Boil water in a small sauce pan. Steep tea bags five minutes; remove tea
bags. Add date nuggets (or substitute 1 cup cut up pitted dates and 1/2 cup
oat flour) and simmer until dates are mushy. Let stand until warm.
Mix white flour, yeast and salt in a large bowl. Beat in the date goo with
a heavy duty mixer or by hand. Add the remaining flours and knead by
machine or by hand until the dates have nearly disappeared and the dough is
elastic.
Let rise in the bowl until doubled; deflate and let rise again. Divide and
shape into two loaves. Bake in a preheated oven at 325F about an hour.
