Spinach & Tomato Sweet Bread

Now here, Kristy is making something crazy again! VEGETABLES loaf ! haha... I've seen blogger making spinach loaf and bread too but seldom I see tomato bread. This is definitely something I will never resist to try, won't I ! Today, I am honoured to present you this colourful soft bread loaf. I bet the kids or whoever hated the green thing is going to love this.

Ingredients for Spinach Dough :

300gm bread flour

1/2 tspn salt

3 tbsp spinach puree

100ml milk (mix with one beatened egg to make it 100ml)

2 tbsp sugar

1-1/2 tspn yeast

2 tbsp corn oil/butter

Ingredients for Tomato Dough :
300gm bread flour

1/2 tspn salt

3 tbsp tomato paste

100ml milk (mix with one beatened egg to make it 100ml)

2 tbsp sugar

1-1/2 tpsn yeast

2 tbsp corn oil/butter

Method :

(1) combine milk, egg, yeast, sugar and oil, leave aside for 5 mins.

(2) in another big mixing bowl, combine flour and salt, mix well.

(3) stir milk mixture into flour to form a soft dough.

(4) leave to rest for an hour or until double the size.

(5) go on with the other recipe with the same method separately.

(6) then punch dough to release air and place dough over a sloured working table.

(7) divide both dough into 6 portion, roll each into oblong shape.

(8) twist together a green dough and a orange dough, ended up with 6 pairs of them.

(9) place them to a 9" tray with butter coating. (mine is 8" tray)

(10) let it rest for another 40 mins or untill double in size.

(11) brush with egg glaze and bake at preheated oven 190'c for about 15-20 mins or untill brown.

(12) leave to cool for 10 mins before remove from tray.

The bread is so fluffy soft and looks jolly good. I think the tomato paste did such incredible job here. The colour is perfect and so does the spinach. Nope....it doesnt' smell like a VEGETABLE at all. lol! haha....

I have some leftover dough after finishing the 8" tray pan. Again I divide each portion into 3 dough balls. Arrange them to a 3x6.5" tray. Let them rest untill double in size. Spread on some pesto and bake at preheated oven 190'C for about 15-20 mins or untill brown.

Pesto topping ! This is totally crazy. I can finish the whole loaf all by myself.
