Prep Time 1 hour 40 minutes

Total Time 2 hours 10 minutes
Servings: 12
Course: Side Dish
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2-1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast 1 packet
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • cocoa powder
  • matcha green tea powder or green food coloring

Instructions
 

  1. Stir the warm water and yeast in the bread machine, wait 5 minutes for it to foam. Then add remaining ingredients (except the cocoa powder and matcha powder). Set on dough setting. (If you don't have a bread machine, make this like any other bread.. knead the dough, let rise in warm area.)
  2. Separate into 3 dough balls (1 large, 1 medium, 1 small). For the green color, place the medium dough ball in an electric mixer with the paddle attachment. Add a little matcha tea powder (about 1 tablespoon) and mix... repeat until you get the right green color and dough is even (you can knead by hand to help). Wipe clean the mixer. Add the next small dough ball to the mixer and add cocoa powder, mix and knead until you get the desired color.
  3. Shape your bread! Use a rolling pin, pizza cutter or chopper if you have it. Place into a greased 9x5" bread loaf pan. Cover with a towel. Let it rise for 30 minutes.
  4. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Slice and Enjoy. Store in a ziploc bag to retain freshness or it will get hard over night.
