Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 2 teaspoons of instant yeast, and a pinch of salt.
 - Gradually pour in 1 cup of warm water, stirring continuously until a dough begins to form.
 - Transfer the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead it by hand for about 10 minutes, then let it rest.
 - Divide the dough into two equal portions; add black gel food coloring to one, and red to the other, kneading until colors are incorporated.
 - Roll out each colored dough into rectangles, layer them, twist and roll to form a loaf.
 - Place the shaped loaf in a greased loaf pan, cover, and let it rise in a warm area for about 2 hours.
 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 30 minutes until golden brown and hollow when tapped.
 - Cool for 10 minutes in pan, then transfer to a wire rack until completely cooled before slicing.
