- Cover with a cloth and leave for second proofing till it reaches a little bit over the tin brim.
- Bake it in a preheated oven at 190 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
- Both sides can be baked a little more with bottom rod on for extra colour. Also on top the same can be done.
- Apply butter when it's still hot, cover with a damp cloth, take it out after few minutes and allow it to cool down completely.
- Slice and enjoy different coloured bread slices.
Notes
- Use the purees as required, keep a watch as it will increase the water content.
- First add purees and mix well , then only add water that too if required.

ReplyDeleteCan u suggest a yeast brand. Gloripan yeast not available on amazon these days.. Unflavoured oil used is olive oil
Thanks. Olive oil is fine. Gloripan, angel r good yeast. Else u will get dry active yeast with brands like bluebird, baker's, FR, Etc in the super markets too.. they come in 25 gm pkt...only difference is that they r granular ones do u hv to activate first abd then use in dough
