Adding 'swirls' to savoury bread dough
I'd like to make a mustard bread that I can get at my local coffee shop:
It's got mustard swirls in it but is a normal loaf shape. When and how do you incorporate savoury sauces like mustard or pesto, and are there any tricks I should know about?
Best Answer
Any additional ingredients should be incorporated after the first proofing.
So after your bread has been set aside to rise in a warm place and doubled in size, knock it back to release the carbon dioxide, then add in your mustard any way you want.
It might be worth rolling out the dough, spreading the mustard along the inside, and then rolling up the dough and cutting it into small pieces to create the swirls.
The bread should then be shaped as you want it and left to rise for another 30-45 minutes or so. After all this it should be good to go.

How do you make toppings stick to bread?
Why does baked bread sink in the middle? If there is too much moisture in the bread after baking, or the bread is underbaked in the centre, it may collapse as it cools. Bake for longer, lowering the temperature of the oven if the crust browns before the middle is cooked through.Why did my cinnamon bread fall in the middle?
If there's not another ingredient mixed into the filling, the liquid begins to seep out of the swirl, leaving behind a gap and pooling in the bottom of your pan. Just a few teaspoons of flour in the filling can do wonders to bind everything together and ensure a gorgeous swirl. The solution is simple.Adding (feat. SoFaygo)
