Spinach Toast

Spinach Toast

Overview

I was lucky enough to enter the semi-finals of the ACA Baking Competition. First of all, I would like to thank all my friends who supported me! Thanks to the judges for the encouragement! Thank you to all the hard-working administrators! The theme of the semi-finals is home-cooked baking. Simple, easy and high success rate is the most basic requirement. Such recipes are easy for beginners to learn and can increase their confidence in baking, so that they can go further and further on the road of baking. For this theme, I used a bread machine to make a super simple bread. Although it is simple, the addition of spinach juice makes this bread look beautiful in color and more nutritious. Using spinach that is readily available, the effect is not inferior to matcha. Hope you guys like it!
