Spinach Swirl Bread

I wanted to make a colored bread with natural colors from vegetables. Like a beautiful pink from Beetroot and green color from spinach. But some how I for got to buy beet root and I don't have time for market.So I skipped that idea and made plain dough and spinach dough. I got a very light green color because I added 1 tab sp of spinach paste but I gave 2 tab sp spinach paste in ingredients so you can get a nice dark color. I made the dough egg less if you like can add one egg to the dough..

NOW LET'S CHECK HOW TO MAKE SWIRL BREAD:---

8. Now place the both circles on top of the other and roll like a swirl (like a Swiss roll) and close the both ends with little milk.
9. Place this roll in a greased loaf pan in a warm place till it became double in size.
10. In the same time pre heat the oven at 175 degree C. or 10 min.
11. After the second raise brush the roll with milk on top and bake it on a pre heated oven for 40 minutes or till it turn golden color on top then remove from oven and leave it a side and let it cool before serving.
12. Slice the Spinach swirl bread after it cool down and enjoy as a breakfast with peanut butter or jam or cheese.
