Cooking method

  • Culinary color therapy? Why not!
  • Which do you prefer? Eat 10 rolls stamped with a soulless bread machine? Or bake an exotic bun from quite affordable products, which will not only delight the eye with a positive green color - the color of life, but also a shape resembling a green melon, and get quite tangible benefits from a seemingly purely rich product. And the whole thing is in the large amount of spinach, which is added to the dough, gives a wonderful lively color and greatly changes the taste for the better.
  • The structure of the test also changes, it becomes unusual and very interesting. The top of the buns is decorated with shortbread dough to which spinach is also added.
  • These buns are related to the Mexican "Conchas" buns. The same unusual, tasty and made using the same technology. Although, perhaps, they were brought as a gift to earthlings by "little green men"?
  • The main difficulty in making these buns is not even in molding, although you will have to tinker with it, but in the need to bake them until cooked, while maintaining the green color of the top of the buns. To do this, I immediately, from the very beginning of baking, covered them on top with two non-stick rugs and baked at a temperature of 165 C.
  • Preparation
  • - To begin with, take spinach, frozen or fresh, and grind it until puree. I had it frozen in the form of glomeruli. I defrosted it a little and squeezed it out a little, but not completely.

  • - For the main dough, put flour, yeast, water, 45 g of chopped spinach into the kneader, mix and leave for 15 minutes. Then we begin to knead, gradually adding salt, sugar and softened butter. Knead the dough for 8 minutes. Let us come up, do one exercise, let us come up a second time.

  • - After kneading the dough, make the dough to cover. Beat with a fork sl. butter, add sugar, beat, add flour, mixed with baking powder. We collect the dough in a lump, we make 8 balls from it. It is best to weigh the dough on a scale to form uniforms. we send it under the film to the refrigerator. We will take them out of the refrigerator within 10 minutes of use.

  • - Making buns. We take out the dough and spread it on a floured board and use a scale to divide it into 8 equal parts. We form 8 balls, kneading the dough well, to expel air bubbles.
  • - Roll out thin cakes from sand balls for coating between two layers of film. We remove the top layer of the film, coat it with a little beaten egg or egg white, and, without removing it from the film, transfer it to the bun, aligning the centers. Then, directly with the help of the film, wrap the ball, twist the film a little, remove it and touch up the coating. Spread the buns on a baking sheet and cut them with a razor or a very sharp knife. I was only able to cut with a fine-toothed knife.

  • - Roll the buns with sugar (it is better to grease them with an egg mash with milk for better sugar adhesion), let stand in a warm place for 30 minutes and bake at 165 C, for a long time, covered with foil or a non-stick mat on top.

Note

Influence of color on life, psyche and human behavior has not been challenged for a long time and continues to be studied. You can talk a lot about this and find a lot of interesting information, including on the Internet.
It is obvious to every person that a beautifully served dish that retains its natural color after cooking has a positive effect on appetite, mood and even relieve asthenic state.
In Christianity green - the color of spring and vegetation, the color of Easter, the color of rebirth, a symbol of the victory of spring over winter or life over death. I already baked German bread for Easter, it also with the addition of spinach.
In ancient Egypt, green was the color of the god Osiris (god of rebirth), in Greece - Dionysus (god of winemaking and the productive forces of nature).
Green is the sacred color in Islam, the color of the prophet.
In India, it symbolizes peace and hope.
In a political sense, green is associated with alternative movements in which natural life and a departure from super-technicalization play a major role.
That is, almost everywhere the green symbolism is associated with life, growth, harmony and health.
As a symbol of prosperity, this color manifests itself in the colors of many currencies.
Our eyes rest on the perception of shades of green.

Green color has a positive effect on the emotional sphere of a person. It relaxes and relieves stress, so it is ideal for a restroom or bedroom. All shades of green are widely used in interior design and clothing, in various fields of humanitarian studies, as well as in medical color therapy and numerous esoteric directions. ...
Green neutralizes the effect of other colors, helps to dispel negative emotions.
Brings calmness and serenity, helps to concentrate and make decisions.

Spinach has a lot of useful properties and qualities.
In spinach, we can find sugars, fiber, fats, proteins, carbohydrates, beta-carotene, vitamins B, PP, A, H, C, E. It contains many minerals such as selenium, calcium, manganese, magnesium, copper , sodium, zinc, potassium, phosphorus.
Spinach is very low in calories, only 23 kcal per 100 g of product, therefore it is recommended for weight loss.
By the amount of protein, spinach is ahead of even legume vegetables (green peas, beans).
Vitamins C and A contained in spinach are one of the most important vitamins in a vegetable; they are not very much destroyed during heat treatment, which is another significant plus when consumed.
Spinach has the ability to remove toxins and toxins from the body. It contains a lot of carotene and is second only to carrots in its content. These properties also make spinach a product that is indispensable in dietary programs, as it enriches the body with useful substances and improves its functioning.

Moreover, colorful, raspberry, green, banana, cranberry, chocolate, with yeast and sourdough, with songs with dances, sorry I know better in hockey than bread, otherwise I would have baked a hal with poppy seeds and sesame seeds!

Good night, Chief! Thank you very much for stopping by! Help yourself! These buns are worth treating to the chef !!!
You will probably laugh, but I'm seriously thinking of adding starch and iodine to the dough to see if the dough turns blue? And, in general, yes, not the whole arsenal of colors has been covered yet, I hope to continue.

A good idea!
I had yellow - pumpkin, black - burger, green - melons, there are a few more, but will I have time ?!
And you know that color therapy is not an empty phrase, but a real method! By what color a person prefers at the moment, you can understand a lot about him, about his condition. And over the course of life, your favorite colors can change! I myself am very responsive to colors. Especially in the interior.

Better this way: Green buns "Spring"! Why not? They just have a shade of young foliage ... especially in the photo where they are lying, not yet wrapped in a second layer of dough. So pretty! A-ah-ah-ah!
And surprised again Olchik! Great!

Olya, for the blue color, perhaps you can try the juice of red cabbage.
And for the black in our time, haute cuisine masters use activated carbon ...
Rada-dms
Premier, well, with black I have no problem, have you seen the black burger bun? You can try blue.

Here, in a parallel competitive recipe for purple, they recommend liquid sourdough on grapes
Quote: Anna in the Woods
Rinse the grapes with cool water, being careful not to wash off the white bloom, natural yeast. By the way, it is better to choose white or pink varieties, and black grapes will color the bread purple ...

Olga, I'm looking at color therapy, you didn't just put it in bread! With a new avochka you!

Ol,cool. I still have spinach. but time is sorely lacking. But you have to get together and try.

have you seen the black burger bun?
Well, there is cuttlefish ink! And coal is cheap and cheerful.
But perhaps not for buns. For tinting glaze, for example. Or for "wrapping" dough.
