  • Then take it one by one, punch out the air and mildly knead it again.
  • Make 5 equal portions of the Beetroot, carrot, spinach and charcoal dough, and 5 similar portions from the white dough.( Remember to keep aside a large part aside from the white dough).
  • Make cylindrical shape logs with all the cut portions of the size as per the length of the bread tin and keep aside on a dusted surface.
  • Roll the remaining white dough into a big Chapati.
  • Place the coloured cylindrical logs randomly as u want with white one inserted in between the coloured ones on one edge of the rolled chapati.
  • Cover it from other side in such a way that all the logs are inside and entire thing is covered by the white dough.
  • Shape it as per the size of the tin and place it in greased tin.
  • Give egg-wash to it and sprinkle seeds of your choice (optional) on the surface.
  • 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.
