Method

  1. Step 1

    For the Tomato dough - Add flour, yeast, salt, sugar, tomato paste and paprika to a mixer with a dough hook, add in water and oil and knead for 5 minutes. Or alternatively, knead by hand for 10 minutes. Oil a bowl and put the dough in it covered to prove for 45 minutes

  2. Step 2

    For the Spinach dough - Add flour, yeast, salt, sugar and spinach to a dough mixer, add in water and oil and knead for 5 minutes (dough mixer) or 10 minutes (by hand). Oil a bowl and put the dough in it covered to prove for 45 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    For the Turmeric dough - Add flour, yeast, salt, sugar and turmeric to a dough mixer, add in water and oil and knead for 5 minutes (dough mixer) or 10 minutes (by hand). Oil a bowl and put the dough in it covered to prove for 45 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Divide the dough into three equal pieces and roll to form three even 'sausage' shapes. Arrange the sausages like an arrow pointing upwards, the tips of all three forming a point. Start to plait, right strand over the middle, then left over the middle, and onwards. Don’t pull too tight!

  5. Step 5

    Once the strands of dough have been plaited together, tuck the ends underneath the dough to hold in place.

  6. Step 6

    Place the dough onto a floured baking sheet and allow the dough to prove for a further 45 minutes covered.

  7. Step 7

    Preheat your oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas mark 6 & bake for 45 minutes.
