This bread has no different from "
a basic bread" recipe I have made previously. In fact, the cocoa or matcha I added in didn't give much flavor. It was just the color that makes it looks a bit fancy. I divided the dough into three equal portions then continue kneading by adding in 1/4 teaspoon cocoa and 1/4 teaspoon matcha powder for two separate doughs and left another dough stayed plain.

I got this idea from my idol chef "
Happy Home Baking" from her recipe of "
green tea and chocolate marble bread". This version is slightly different in terms of its folding method that would give a messy marble effect. I rolled out each dough in longish shape and stack them together. Then, rolled up the dough as shown in the following picture.

I divided it into three equal portions and rolled out the dough. Some marble effects would start to appear during this stage.

Rolled it up again then place in a grease baking tin and proof for 60 minutes.

Somehow, I found the color was not sharp enough. I might have put too little cocoa and matcha powder. But it's too late, therefore I left it to proof in the oven.
The dough rise very well and it was almost a square toast.

It wasn't too bad when I cut a slice out. Each slice had its own characteristic and it's as soft as the previous basic bread.

I could slightly smell the cocoa and tea flavor but just couldn't taste it.
After all, it could still be served with jam or peanut butter!
