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.

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.
