Recipe's preparation

    White dough

  1. Place all ingredients into the bowl and knead 2 minutes. 

    Wrap dough in Thermomat and keep in a warm place to prove

    2. Green dough

  2. Place the spinach and flour into the bowl and process 10 seconds speed 9. Check there are no leaves stuck up the sides, if so, scrape down and repeat.

    Add yeast, water and oil and Dough modefor 2 minutes. Check the consistency, if the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour and knead for a further 20 seconds.

    Wrap dough in the other end of the thermomat and keep in a warm place to prove.

    3. Red dough

  3. Place the beetroot and the flour into the bowl and process 10 seconds speed 9. Check if any chunks of beetroot remain. If so, scrape down the bowl and repeat.

    Add the water, yeast, oil, salt, cinnamon and honey and Dough mode for 2 minutes. Add the sultanas and knead for 20 seconds.

    Wrap the dough in Thermomat and keep in a warm place to prove.

  4. Allow the doughs to prove until doubled in size, approximately 30 minutes.

    5. Assembling the bread

  5. Roll out the green dough to form a rectangle the length of the bread tin you will be using (mine is 17cm long). It should be about 5mm thick. Move the green dough to a chopping board or clean bench (unless you are luck enough to have 2 thermomats).

    Roll out the white dough on the thermomat to form a rectangle the same size as the green dough. Place the white dough in top of the green dough.

    Knock down the red dough and shape into a log shape the length of your tin.

    Place the red dough on top of the white dough and carefully roll the white and green dough around the red dough, just overlapping and pressing down the sides.

    Preheat your oven to 200C.

     

  6. Place the dough into your tin seam side down. Allow to prove for a second time until the dough is ready to burst out of the tin.

  7. Bake at 200C for 30-35 minutes. Turn out of the tin as soon as it is cooked and cool on a wire rack. Wait at least 30 minutes before slicing

Tip

I use a 340g tin from allaboutbread.com.au

If you don't have the enthusiasn to make both coloured doughs naturally coloured, make the green dough and white dough together without the spinach, cut in half and add a drop of green food colouring to half the dough and knead through by hand before the first prove.

You can easily double the quantities of each dough to make a bigger loaf.

This is well suited to a free form loaf baked on a tray.
