Thank you Kay!

Some people think I use to many ingredients (spices especially) but I like a nice complex flavor.

Any ingredient can be adjusted to personal taste.

Thank you GG.

Made this a week or so ago but have never posted the recipe.

(I have dough going for pizza and maybe garlic knots at the moment.)
