Spicebread

4 cups whole wheat flour or white wheat flour
1 tsp. salt
2 cups warm herbal tea
2 Tbls. honey
2 Tbls. yeast
1 Tbls. spices of choice (I used a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and cloves)

Sift together the flour, salt and spices. Meanwhile proof the yeast with the honey in 1 cup of the tea. When that is nicely risen, stir into the flour with the rest of the tea. Knead in more flour as necessary. Let rise in an oiled bowl, covered in plastic wrap, in a warm place for 15 minutes. Knead again and form into a loaf. Glaze with butter or oil, cover and rise for 30 minutes. Mist the inside of the cold oven with water, place loaf inside and turn up to 350. Let bake until done (sorry, I keep forgetting to time these).
