I made a multicolored loaf as a “happy pride month” gift for a friend! I used this recipe: https://alexandracooks.com/2017/10/24/artisan-sourdough-made-simple-sourdough-bread-demystified-a-beginners-guide-to-sourdough-baking/
I split the recipe into 7 equally sized doughs, each dyed with an unmeasured amount of these things:
– butterfly pea flower tea (instead of water)
– turmeric juice
– beet juice
– spirulina
– cocoa powder
– purple sweet potato powder
– annatto powder
Ngl the annatto flavor was a little weird. Everything else was undetectable (even the turmeric, surprisingly).
I love how most of the colors came out (except for beet which seems to have bleached out during baking) but I wasn’t sure how to shape it to get whorls or a tie-die pattern or anything. If anybody knows of a tutorial (or can attempt to describe a method in text lmao), it would be appreciated!

Hey, great loaf! Just an idea, I have read that a bit of acid will stabilize the beet color. I think a gram or 2 of lemon juice would do the trick.
That’s lovely ❤️
I might try something similar for the ciabatta I have planned for the afternoon 🌈
Happy Pride!

I tried baking a yeasted beet bread in the past, but i used a whole beetroot with pulp. That made it come out super red. I’ve read that beet juice alone gives bread a brown colour instead of a red one.
I’ve been wanting to try to make a sourdough challah but haven’t felt confident enough. The dream is to make half of the strands a cinnamon dough and use it for french toast. Could maybe use the braid technique for all the colors?
