For those who are interested, here’s what I did to achieve the swirl effect :


1) Set the machine to knead, proof as you would for your white loaf. I used “Sweet”, followed by “Dough” functions.

2) Once proofing is done, divide the dough into 3 portions.

3) Add one drop of colouring to each portion – red, green, yellow.

4) Knead the portioned dough until the colouring is even and you get 3 coloured balls.

5) Roll out the red ball into a 1cm thick rectangle and do the same for the green and the yellow dough.

6) Put the green rectangle on top of the red and the yellow on top of the green. You can change the sequence of the colours if you want to.

7) Roll up the 3 layers of dough as you would for a Swiss Roll.

8 ) Let it proof for another 20 to 30 mins.

9) Meanwhile, grease your Pullman Pan or Loaf Pan.

10) Bake at 175 to 180 for about 20 to 30 mins.

Hope the above explantion is clear. Didn’t take step by step pictures as I was too tired. Give a shout if you need help. :celebrate:

You know what, I had this gut feel that you would be baking it today, but who would have expected you made it immediately!! No wonder I was wondering why you went so quiet all of a sudden.

Maid, you are really good!!! Really live up to your name SHIFU and also KSP for being the first to submit your bread for the competition. :salute: :celebrate:

Haha, truth be told. I was already thinking of baking one after the CNY when Chief brought it up last night, but when 488 KPs came into the picture, I decided that it was too risky to wait till after CNY to attempt it.

Yes, I went all quiet suddenly because I switched to lurker mode, was lurking, reading, instead of posting :oops: and I almost fell of the chair laughing when I read the chat between you and autumnbronze. Yes, I almost wanted to :heresmyfish: the two of you! :lol: You were definitely talking about me, right?

Okay, have to go. Talk to you next year! :imanisland:
