Tricolor Semolina Bread are easy and simple to bake with zero sugar and artificial colours. If you wish can add colours but I always prefer healthy cooking and baking.

After First proofing:

# Take the white portion... Grease your working surface with little oil and start kneading the dough. Sprinkle 1/4 tsp of oil... grease your palm with oil and start kneading. Initially it will be difficult, sticky.... add 1/4 tsp of oil and knead...it will take 15- 20 minutes for each dough to knead. After 20 minutes the dough will be smooth and elastic.

Baking tin size 7×3.
