Altamura Shaped Semolina Multi-Grain SD with Seeds and Sprouts

lovely, the bread tasty but the tomatoes that looked like very special multi; grain bread and tea - were to die for!  The bread folded itself after watching the video but next time Iwill shape it slightly different than the traditional way.  You were some good inspiration for this bake.

The 12 tomato plants this year, which should produce well until mid June, are all completely and totally dead.  This is the first time I grew from seed all heirloom varieties - yellow, purple and black and didn't plant any hybrids and genetically altered varieties.  The heirlooms are not resistant to; disease, heat, cold, mildew, drought, bugs or overewatering or anything else.  The least little thing will kill them off in mass before you can do anything about it.  Hope you have better luck!

Still,  the few tomatoes that we did get were the tastiest ever.

kind words Sylvia and double thanks for sandwich bun recipe that I converted over to YW to make hamburger buns and cinnamon rolls out of the same dough.  Now I can split the batch in half and not have too many of either :-)

I too love hot tea in the morning in the winter and all day long and cold tea for the hot AZ summers.  So as a pay back, here is the recipe for this fine summer tea that has such a beautiful color and naturally  hardlysweet fruity taste.

1 tsp of Teavana Green Rooibos and Peach (now sadly discontinued at my Teavana - Green  Rooibos is hard to find)

1 tsp of Honeybush (we  get ours at the 4th AVE Grocery  CO-Op in Tucson.)

1/2 tsp of Jicama flowers (where the beautiful color comes from)

1 tsp each of Whole Foods loose flavored teas  - Mango, Raspberry, Passion Fruit and Peach

Heat 700 grams of water in the microwave on high for 5 minutes (make sure to put a wood chop stick in the water to keep it from exploding. ) I use my plastic French coffee press made by Bodum for this - it's horrible at making coffee but the greatest at making tea.  When the water is hot put the tea in and hold it 1" under water with the metal press/strainer part of the Bodim - steep for 10 minutes.  Fill a 1/2 gallon drink container half full of ice cubes.  When the 10 min is up, press the tea leaves slowly up and down the press a couple of times and the press down.  Pour the hot concentrated tea over the ice and refrigerate.  A very nice tea indeed.  Enjoy!
