Purple sweet potato twisted milk bread
This one was absolutely magical
Are you curious to see how it looks like baked?
See below
I used my usual milk bread recipe, then divided dough into two and colored one part with sweet potato powder and shaped the bread with a twisted effect!
Have you ever tried this shaping method?

25g (2,5 tbsp) flour *
120ml (1/2 cup) water
For the bread
Dry
9 g/2,5 tsp instant yeast
350 g / 2,75 cups bread flour
65 g/ 1/3 cup light brown sugar
5 g /1 tsp pink salt
2 tbsp purple sweet potato powder @suncorefoods
Wet
120 ml / 1/2 cup soy milk, warm (55C|110F)
All the roux
50 g/ 1/4 cup plant-based butter, softened
Full recipe for my milk bread recipe is below
Divide dough and color one part with oriole sweet potato powder.
Roll out both dough into a 25x50 cm rectangle.
Place purple dough over the plain and gently roll to seal.
Using a cutter, divide the dough into stripes following the long side (8x 3cm large stripes), leaving 5 cm from the edge so that they're not completely cut. Twist each strip.
Roll dough into a log.
Let the shaped bread rise for 30-45 minutes. Preheat oven to 175 C degrees and bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool into the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool down completely.
Cool completely before slicing!
