Natural Tie Dye Bread
I'm sure we all have a piece of tie dye clothing somewhere deep in the closet, let's make some bread to match 🤪✌️
*Note* the powders will affect the flavor of the bread, you can add more for vibrate colors but be aware that it will change the taste
Supplies
3 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoon instant yeast
2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon green spirulina
1 teaspoon blue spirulina
1 teaspoon purple sweet potato powder
1.5 cup warm water
Large mixing bowl
Four smaller mixing bowls
Measuring cups/spoons
Mixing utensils
Dutch oven
parchment paper
Mix Flour
Mix flour, yeast and salt
Add Color
Evenly separate the flour mixture into four smaller bowls
Add one teaspoon of each color to each bowl, mix well
Add Water
Add equal amounts of the warm water to each color, mix together
Form Loaf
Take half of each color and place into large bowl,
add the other half of each color on the opposite side of the bowl
(first layer- clockwise: yellow, blue, purple, green; second layer- purple, green, yellow, blue)
you don't have to follow these exact color instructions but you want a different color on top
Let Rise
Cover the loaf with plastic wrap and leave on the counter to rise for 2-3 hours
**30 minutes before you're ready to bake, place your dutch oven in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F**
Bake
Turn your dough ball onto lightly floured parchment paper and place in preheated dutch oven.
Bake with the cover on for about 25 minutes, take the cover off and bake for 10-15 minutes until crispy
Cool and Slice
Transfer your loaf to a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing!
