FOOD - Bread with a color? Yes yes yes

Yessss, it is true! Bread with a color. In Asia they selling bread in different colors because they don't know the regular or usual white or dark bread like we have in the Netherlands and the bread they make are terrible sweet as like in Indonesia. I've found a recipe but put less sugar in it. I've used 3 colors to make this delicious bread.



The basic recipe for the dough:


2 cups (240 gram) bread flower
1 cup (230 ml.) lukewarm milk 
1/2 teaspoon (5 gram) dry yeast
1/4 cup (50 gr.) sugar
1/3 teaspoon (3 gram) salt
3 tablespoons (30 gram) butter

Put yeast, sugar and milk into a bowl. Mix this well. Then add the flower. Stir it untill the dough is heavy. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes. Now add the room temperature butter slices. Knead for 5 minutes and smash the dough on to the cutting board. The dough will be a little messy but by kneading it for about 10 minutes it will smooth it out. After 10-15 minutes kneading the consistency will change to a compact dough. You can test it by pulling the dough and check if you can see through it.

Put the dough into a bowl and cover it with folie and a damned towel. Let it rust for about 40 minutes. 

Afther 40 minutes your dough is ready to use.

Cut the dough in 4 pieces from the same weight. Put in every dough the foodcolor that you have choosen. I used the colors red, green and blue.

How to color your dough?

Take a piece of dough and make it flat. Add the foodcolor in the middle and knead the dough.  Kneading kneading and kneading. Afther kneading all the pieces let them rest for about 40 minutes.

Shape the dough

Roll each piece of dough into uniform patch. Roll them as thin as possible but make sure it does not go cracks.



Put the 4 pieces of dough together. Make sure they are evenly.


Now roll the 4 layers into one huge role and make sure that the points connect  where the dough comes together. Do the same with the sides. You can see the shape of a loaf of bread. Put the bread in a bread mold, cover it and lit it rise for 1 hour. Afther 1 hour you can put the bread into the preheat oven and bake the bread in 26 minutes on 180 degrees.




Afther 26 minutes your bread is ready. It is higher and the colors are brighter.


Let the bread cooldown untill room temperature, then cut and serve


Try to make this recipe. Enjoy your meal.

Greetings Paula
