I consulted my baking and everything else sounding boards but they were not feeling my boring pumpkin self. They encouraged me to use callaloo (a Jamaican leafy green similar to spinach but with a stronger flavour). I had originally planned a two-tone loaf but kneading colours into the dough makes you question your bread-baking choices.
I completely forgot to take pictures of my dough after kneading and shaping but trust me, it was a lovely bright green. A completely different green came out of the oven, however. I am just glad it wasn't completely brown. If you overcook callaloo, it does become a dark unsightly brown-ish colour so I was very worried about that.
I am using an interesting method here that is similar to tangzhong. It's called the yudane method and involves pouring hot water over 20% of the recipe's flour and leaving it overnight. It results in an extremely soft dough.

Callaloo Bread
Yield: 1 loaf
Adapted from Bake with Paws
Ingredients
Yudane
90g flour
80g boiling water
Dough
150g milk
100g callaloo
360g flour
30 grams sugar
18 grams oil
1 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
Egg or milk for egg or milk wash
Directions
Add flour to your mixing bowl and pour in the boiling water. Mix it together then cover and refrigerate for four hours or overnight.
Blend the milk and callaloo until smooth. Callaloo can have thick stems. I did use stems in mine, I just ensured that everything was blended well.
Tear up the yudane into small pieces and then add all the ingredients to the bowl.
Knead together until the dough is smooth. You can do the windowpane test but yudane doughs seem to be less likely to achieve thin windowpanes. The original author recommends between 10 and 13 minutes of kneading time.
Allow the dough to rise until doubled.
When doubled, punch down the dough, shape and place in a 9" x 5" loaf pan. I did a four-strand braid on my loaf but you can do a regular loaf shape, if you wish.
Leave the dough to rise once more until doubled.
Preheat oven to 350 F.
When the dough is ready, brush with egg wash or milk then bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
Cool. Slice. Enjoy.

I think it is a nice hue Kelly and I'm intrigued by the yudane method.
ReplyDeleteThis bread has a great color. Love callaloo and need to try this bread. Yudane is new to me and want to try this version too! Your bread looks very soft too!
ReplyDeleteCool tangzhong-ish method! Your color came out great!! And I agree, trying to knead in color is a workout!
ReplyDeleteTotally looking into this method, and looking up callaloo! ☺
ReplyDeleteI cannot emphasize enough the truth of your statement about the challenge of kneading color in! Ugh. I applaud you for having the wisdom to stick to one color. I have a tin of callaloo in the pantry but, of course, it's cooked and packed in salt water. Perhaps I can drain it and squeeze it dry to make your loaf?
ReplyDeleteCallaloo bread looks delicious I need to check it out. Yes retaining color after baking is major task.
