Sage Bread
This bread is generally used at
Sabbats or learning circles for the wisdom required. Begin with any bread
recipe you choose. Whole grain or gluten free recipes work equally well.
At the end of the last rise, just before you put your bread in the oven,
mix together the following per loaf -
3 tsp. chopped chives or green
onion tips
1/2 tsp. sage
1/4 tsp. dill
1/2 tsp. garlic (optional)
2 level tsp. butter (unsalted)
Grind the herbs and mash into
the soft butter. Add 1 and 1/2 tsp. plain low fat yogurt.
Brush this mixture on the tops of your loaves and slit the bread
lengthwise to brush the mix into the cut. Bake as normal and serve fresh.
