SPINACH TOMATO WHOLE WHEAT GARLIC LOAF
This is a super healthy and tasty bread recipe. Used whole wheat flour and very less all purpose flour. No artificial colour is used here. The green colour is from spinach and red colour is from tomato and red chili powder. I have tried to make it more healthier for kids by using these natural ingredients. Also topped with flax seeds and sesame seeds to increase the nutritious value of the loaf.

👨🍳 Method — step by step
For the green paste:

In a bowl take lukewarm milk, sugar and yeast and keep covered for 10 minutes.
In a big bowl take whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, salt, butter and active dry yeast mixture.
Start assembling together. After 5 minutes of kneading divide the dough in 3 parts.
In one part add the tomato paste, another part mix the spinach paste and the last one keep as it is.
knead all three parts separately until soft and elastic. Keep covered in bowls for 1 hour to rise.
After 1 hour divide each dough into 2 parts and roll them like chappati. Now place one chappati over another.
Start rolling from one side to form a log.
Prepare a loaf pan with butter paper and place the prepared loaf for 2nd rising.
Preheat oven at 180C for 10 minutes. After 2nd rise top the bread with flax seeds and sesame seeds to make it more healthier.
Brush with milk and bake 25-30 minutes or top turns golden brown. Take out from oven, brush with butter and enjoy. Will definitely change the colour of your breakfast table for sure.
