First, you will need: 1 pound of ripe, unpeeled, sourdough bread. 2 lbs. of chopped, finely sliced, fresh thyme. 1 cup (240 milliliters) of water. If you don't have any water, add 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to the pot. Bring the mixture to boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the bread is tender, about 20 minutes.
