Chai Tea Bread image

I love chai tea and thought I would try incorporating it into a bread recipe. This is a bread machine recipe. I ran it on the Dough cycle and then braided and baked the bread in the oven.

Time 3h15m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup 2% milk
3 chai tea bags (such as Oregon Chai®), divided
3 cups bread flour
1 egg, separated
2 tablespoons butter, softened
⅓ cup white sugar
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon white decorator sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat milk in the microwave for 1 minute. Steep 1 tea bag in the warm milk for 7 to 10 minutes. Whisk contents of the remaining tea bags into flour.
  • Pour milk into a bread machine, discarding tea bag. Add egg yolk, butter, flour, sugar, yeast, and salt, in that order. Run Dough cycle.
  • Remove dough from the machine after the cycle is done, about 90 minutes. Place on a floured surface and punch down gently. Divide dough into 3 equal parts and braid together. Tuck ends under.
  • Place the braided loaf on a greased baking pan and cover loosely with a towel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Whisk egg white with water to make egg wash. Brush egg wash over the loaf. Sprinkle decorator sugar on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Overall, I thought this bread was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.

This bread is very dense. I think I would add more liquid next time.

The bread didn't rise as much as I expected. I think I might have added too much baking powder.

This bread is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I made this bread for my book club, and everyone loved it. They all asked for the recipe, and I've already had to make it twice more.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the walnuts for dried cranberries. It turned out great! The cranberries add a tart sweetness that pairs perfectly with the chai tea flavor.

I'm not usually a fan of chai tea, but this bread changed my mind. The flavors are so well-balanced, and the bread is so moist. I'll definitely be making this again.
