How to Make Vampire Bread
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Gradually pour in warm water and mix until a dough begins to form. Knead the mixture until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
- Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and place it in a warm area. Let it rise for 1-2 hours, until it doubles in size.
- Once risen, gently punch down the dough to release air. Divide it into two equal portions. Color one half with black food coloring and the other with red.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion of colored dough separately.
- Layer the red dough atop the black dough and twist them together gently to form a loaf shape.
- Allow the newly shaped loaf to rise again for about 30 minutes, covered with a towel.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the dough in the oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes.
- Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
