Yesterday I bought green tea in a japonese market in paris. When I’ll come back to Rome I have to try this green bread

Hello Chuck,
So pleased that you found my blog so that I, in turn, could discovery yours! What a gorgeous selection of interesting breads – this pistachio one looks sensational. And your photography is great too – I love that picture of the kiwi fruit.
I’ve never had much luck with baking bread but your blog will surely inspire me to have another go.

Sarah, your very welcome I enjoyed your blog. Good to know about the saffron. As for the Green Tea there is a slight flavor of the Green Tea. But, you do have to be careful because it can become bitter. I do think this bread is well balanced. Green Tea (matcha) is used a lot in Asian baking.

Chuck, thats for leaving a comment on my site. I have the same question about the green tea you put in your soda bread. Is the flavor very strong?

In regards to the Saffron, I have to think that you wouldnt bother putting such an expensive herb into the mix if it didnt impart something special. That said, I do not think the flavor is overpowering, but you can definitely tell that Saffron is a contributing flavor.

Gorgeous, especially that 2nd photo! I’m going to have to look out for the matcha tea, I’ve not seen it here (UK).

Jon,

thanks for the comment, we work very hard to create the best photos that we can. I have to give the credit to my sister, she does all the photos. She uses a Nikon D200 which is a digital camera. You can use a less one like a D70 or D50. But, to be perfectly honest it is all about the lighting. That is what makes these photos so beautiful. Glad you liked them.
