This slightly sweet, slightly savoury bread is great when snuggled on the sofa with a hot drink.

Steps

3 hours

1

Mix the flour, yeast and sugar together.
2

Chop your butter in to tiny chunks, place on top of your flour mix and pour on the lukewarm tea.
3

Squeeze the green tea bags so there is no water left and the liquid gets into the dough mix.
4

Mix into a sticky dough, and tip out onto a floured surface.
5

Knead for ten minutes, adding flour to help with the kneading as required.
6

Place back in the mixing bowl and cover with cling film.
7

Leave for a few hours if possible. If you can't leave it that long, half an hour will be ok as a minimum. I leave mine for about 2 hours as it makes the bread lighter and the crust a bit crisper.
8

After you have left your dough, remove it from the bowl, shape and place in a greased or silicon loaf tin.
9

Use scissors to snip little arrow shapes into the top of the dough. They should stick up like hedgehog spines.
10

Leave it for half an hour in the tin, covered.
11

While it sits, preheat the oven to 180°C.
12

Brush with milk and sprinkle the seeds on top.
13

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Enjoy!
