How to make Halloween Swirl Sandwich Bread
1. Proof your yeast
in the bowl of a stand mixer add warm water, yeast and sugar.
allow the yeast to proof for about 5 minutes or until you start to see bubble begin to form. if you don’t see any action in your yeast do not add anything else. your yeast may be old or you may have burned it with water that is too hot. start over before you waste any ingredients.
2. Add ingredients
add the flour, salt and oil
mix on low speed using the dough hook on your stan mixer. you can do all this by hand if you wish.
allow the dough to come together but not quite smooth yet
3. add colour
remove dough from the bowl and divide in 4
add a drop of colour in each portion of dough and starting with the lightest colour add the dough back into the stand mixer and kneed the colour into the dough
repeating this process with each portion until they all have colour
kneed by hand each piece until firm and smooth. its ok if the colour looks a bit marbled
4. First rise
place each ball of dough into a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel and allow to rise or 1 hour
5. Shape the loaves
punch down the risen dough and divide each colour in half
flatten out each half into long rectangles as long as you can get and as wide as your bread pans are long.
repeat with each colour and layer each on top of one another until you have two long rectangles with all 4 colours on top of one another
prepare two bread pan with cooking spray or parchment paper
take one of the dough rectangles and place it in front of you with the short side close to you and the long edges on either side
starting with the edge close to you begin to roll as tight as possible
repeat with the second loaf
6. Second rise
place each loaf into their bread pans seam side down, cover with a towel and allow to rise for 1 more hour.
7. Bake your Halloween Swirl Sandwich Bread
preheat oven to 375℉ using the convection setting if your oven has one
bake for for 30 min
8. Cool
remove bread from the pans as soon as you take them out of the oven and allow them to cool on a cooling rack
allow the bread to cool completely before slicing in. the bread is still cooking as it cools and if you slice it hot you will have a mushy texture inside.
