Bread and salt Bread is a holiday in the house. Today we bake vegetable bread. Bright juice from vegetables will color the dough, and the bread will turn out to be festively cheerful and colorful. To get vegetable juice, enough to boil and grate the beets, squeeze the juice. We will use carrots fresh (choose a bright saturated color). Green color you get from spinach. Boil it a little, purify it. The fourth color is the usual white dough. Using yeast and sugar, mix the dough (4 koloboks). Put the dough in a warm place. And fantasize how to lay the stripes of the approached test. The result of the first baking disappointed me. Rather, disappointed was the color of bread after baking. A strip of beetroot dough turned a dark brown color. The green color of the spinach dough was also dark. Thanks to the culinary mirsladostey, in the recipe for the preparation of beet pancakes, he uses the boiled dye, and not fresh, as in my recipe, beets. I decided to change the recipe and repeated the bread baking again. Having corrected all the shortcomings of the first recipe, the second loaf came out better. In principle, the recipe is common for bread making. If you want to repeat it, it will not be difficult. Improve this recipe! In my opinion, there is still room for imagination! Good luck!
