Ingredients

Serves : 8
  • For Bread; 3 cups all purpose flour


  • 1 tsp Salt


  • 1/4 cup blueberries


  • 1/5 cups water


  • 1 tsp sugar


  • 1 tsp active yeast


  • 2 tsp oil


  • 4-5 drops Red gel food colour


  • 2-3 drops Green gel food colour


  • Other ingredients; 2 tsp Oil


  • 2 tsp flour


  • 2 tbsp butter

Directions

  • Mix water with sugar, oil and yeast. Cover the bowl for few minutes.
  • Once the yeast starts to froth, you can start kneading the dough.
  • Take flour in a large mixing bowl. Add salt and mix.
  • Add the liquid mixture and knead a semi soft dough.
  • Take the dough onto a clean kitchen counter.
  • Knead it for 8-10 minutes to make it elastic.
  • Divide into 2 equal parts and then divide one half into 2 more halves.
  • I have chopped the berries in halves.
  • Colour the bigger part in red. One small part in green and leave the other small part as is.
  • Keep in lightly greased bowls. Cover with samp cloth for 45 minutes or 1 hour for the dough balls to double.
  • Once doubled in size, divide them in halves.
  • Generously grease two, 6 inch cake tins.
  • Slightly grease the counter and roll white dough like a puri, place red ball in centre.
  • Now bring together the white dough. Pinch and seal.
  • Roll out the green dough into discs, place the prepared ball in it, wrap and bring together. Pinch and seal.
  • Place both balls in the tin, apply some oil on the top of the dough. Cover and let it rise for 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven at 200°C, 15 minutes before the rising time is over. Place in the middle rack and bake.
  • Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, apply butter on the surface of both the breads.
  • Once the tins are little cooled, tilt the bread and place over a wire rack and let them cool completely.
  • Once cooled, slice the bread using a serrated knife. I made 4 even cuts across to get these beautiful slices.
  • Serve your guests with cream cheese or any spread that you like.
