Loaf for "les filles'"

This loaf for "the girls" in three colours is made by putting together three doughs, each with a different flavour: tomato for the red, pesto with olives for the green and onion for the white.

The three different doughs fuse as they rise together in the tin before cooking, to produce an unusual bread with surprising flavours.

Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

Put into a food-mixer bowl: 1 kg plain white flour (French Type 65), 18 g salt, 30 g yeast, 500 g Milk (at fridge temperature, so really cold), 150 g butter and 100 g Soured dough (if possible).

Stage 2 - 10 min.

Knead on slow speed for 10 minutes. This makes a fairly firm dough.

Note: For the best way to knead, see: A few tips for effective kneading at home.

Stage 3 - 5 min.

Cut the dough into 3 pieces of equal weight.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

Put one piece of plain dough back in the bowl and and 100 g pesto and 200 g green olives (chopped).

Knead until well mixed in.

Stage 5 - 2 min.

Gather the green dough into a ball, transfer to a clean bowl and cover with a plastic sheet.

Stage 6 - 5 min.

Put another piece of plain dough into the bowl and add 60 g tomato paste. If you would like a stronger tomato flavour, you can add a little powdered tomato soup (about 1/2 a sachet), as shown in the photo.

Knead until well mixed in.

Stage 7 - 2 min.

Gather the red dough into a ball, transfer to a clean bowl and cover with a plastic sheet.

Stage 8 - 5 min.

Put the last piece of plain dough into the bowl and add the chopped 100 g onion fondue.

Knead until well mixed in.

Stage 9 - 2 min.

Gather the white dough into a ball, transfer to a clean bowl and cover with a plastic sheet.

Stage 10 - 1 hour 30 min.

Leave the dough to rest for 1 hour 30 minutes.

Stage 11 - 5 min.

After resting, cut each piece of dough into 3 (if you are making 3 loaves, that is).

Stage 12 - 20 min.

Roll the dough into balls, cover with a plastic sheet and leave to rest for 30 minutes.

Stage 13 - 1 hour

After this, roll the dough into long "sausages" the length of your loaf tin or mould.

Place a roll of dough of each colour in each tin, cover with a sheet of plastic and leave to rise for 1 hour.

Stage 14 - 30 min.

Preheat the oven to 460°F (240°C).

Bake for about 30 minutes.

Stage 15

The best part of this recipe is when you slice open the loaf to reveal the three lovely colours before you eat it...

Remarks

If you plan to use packet tomato soup (as suggested in stage 6), it will dry out the dough somewhat, so it is helpful, though not essential, to add 10% more milk than stated in the recipe.

And who are these girls, "les filles"? Juliette, Lucille and Candice, of course.

Keeping: Several days, preferably in a cloth bag.

Pizza dough

Pizza dough is a lind of bread dough with olive oil, which make it softer. This is the same dough that I use for pizzas and flammenkuches, this is no doubt incorrect, but it's very good nevertheless. At home we used to make pizza dough quite thick, and flammenkuche as thin as possible.
