I am a tea drinker and always try to incorporate tea, either black or green, oolong is my favourite though, into my baked goods whenever possible. This overnight spelt loaf, lightly sweetened with coconut sugar, is soft and tender with a buttery crumble topping--perfect for breakfast or afternoon tea snack.

- Place all the dough ingredients in a mixer and mix everything until you have a smooth, stiff dough. Cover and leave it at room-temperature to rest for 2 hours.
- Gently knead down the dough and shape into a loaf to fit a standard-size loaf pan lined with baking paper. Cover and leave overnight to rise in the fridge.
- The loaf will have risen slightly after 8-10 hours. Take it out of the fridge and put it somewhere warm to carry on rising until it reaches the rim of the pan, 1 to 3 hours.
- Place all the streusel ingredients in a bowl and rub everything together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Place the streusel on the top of bread.
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Bake the loaf for about 40 minutes until nicely golden brown. Remove and cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before turn it out to cool completely.

They look so perfect and are so healthy as well. Yum :)
What a cool color. I feel like I want it to have a swirl of cream-color as well. I love green tea. What a refreshingly interesting bread.
I finally picked up some spelt flour the other day and am looking forward to putting it to use! This loaf sounds fantastic - and that color!
What a great idea to incorporate tea into a cake Angie. Will definitely be trying that out soon!
I am sipping on some English breakfast tea this morning and I wish I had a slice of your beautiful spelt loaf to eat along with it! I haven't baked a yeast bread in a long time---you've inspired me again, Angie!
What a lovely color. I want to get my hands on some Matcha powder ASAP.
A beautiful bread! I have never used tea in baking, but I do make a nice salad dressing with tea. ☺
I absolutely love tea, especially if something is cooked in it, or flavored with it, so I am going crazy over this loaf!!! It looks absolutely delicious, Angie!
A beautiful loaf of bread Angie! I am a tea lover too but never use it in my baking. I can see I'm missing out!

Love how you incorporated green tea into this beautiful loaf - and that streusel sounds delicious!
Oh how I wish that I could have a slice of your delicious green tea loaf right this minute as I enjoy my afternoon cup of green tea. What a wonderful idea to use in a thread Angie!
I should give this a try! I also am a tea fan, and green tea is such a great flavor to add to our breads. Why not!!
I just want to remind you that you are the one who made me fall in love with baking! This Green tea loaf looks amazing :)
I'm a tea drinker, but haven't really incorporated tea into my cooking much. I love what you've created here. Just a little bit of matcha goes a long way in flavor and with the tea as the bread's liquid, the flavor of tea is through and through. Lovely bread Angie!
This sounds lovely! I've never baked with tea, but I think I need to change that.
OMG I'm so much in love with your recipe, it looks both moist and crispy! I really like the idea of the green tea in a loaf, very creative :)
What a beautiful loaf, Angie. The streusel on top is a nice touch.
must try this.. I am big fan of Matcha
I'm a tea drinker too and like oolong, though I have to say rooibos is my number one. This green tea bread looks perfect and would go wonderfully well with a nice cup of froothie matcha.
