Rainbow Unicorn Bread
Rainbow Unicorn Bread is an all-natural healthy bread without any food dyes. The recipe is also a no-knead bread recipe that uses my SIS (simple is smart) envelope fold method.
Equipment
- Oven Steel or stone
Ingredients
- 24 ounces bread flour split into 4 separate bowls (6 ounces per bowl) (170g)
- 2 tsp yeast split 1/2 tsp in each bowl
- 1 tsp salt split 1/4 tsp each bowl
- 1 tbsp. Purple sweet potato powder see notes for where to purchase the vegetable powders for coloring the bread.
- 1 tbsp hot pink (pitaya)dragon fruit powder
- 1 tbsp blue spirulina powder
- 1 tbsp yellow goldenberry powder
- 16 ounces room temperature water. 4 ounces for each bowl
Instructions
- Add a different coloring powder to each bowl and stir to mix in. (see notes)
- Add the yeast and salt to each bowl of flour and stir to mix in.
- Add 4 ounces of water to each bowl and stir to mix in with a spoon. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes and bring the dough together into a soft ball with your spoon or your hands.
- Do 3 envelope folds for each ball of dough, with a 20 minute rest period between envelope folds. (see video for my SIS (simple is smart) how to do the envelope folds.
- After the 3rd and final envelope fold cover the bowl and let the dough rise about 45 minutes or until double in size.
- After the end of the rise period roll each piece of dough into a rectangle that is about 6 by 12 in inches. Stack the pieces of dough together and gently roll with a rolling pin to compress the dough together.
- Starting at the narrow side, roll the dough into a large loaf shaped roll.
- Cover and let rise for 45 minutes or until doubled in size. During the last 30 minutes preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) with an oven stone or steel in the oven.
- Bake directly on the stone or steel for 30 - 35 minutes or until the center of the loaf is 190°F (87°C) on an instant read thermometer. Loosely tent with foil if the top is over-browning.
- Remove to a wire cooling rack. If you like a soft crust, brush the top with butter.
- Cool completely before slicing.
