Brimstone Bread
Recipe from Necro-nom-nom-nomiconMakes 12
1 box Fleischmann's® Simply Homemade® Bread Mix
1-2 tsp red food coloring
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare bread according to package directions, but make sure to add red food coloring to the warm water prior to adding it to the dry bread mix.
Topping
2 T dry active yeast
2 T sugar
2 T vegetable oil
1/2 t salt
1 1/2 cups rice flour
1 cup warm water (105-115 degrees) with black food coloring
Mix yeast, sugar, oil, salt and rice flour together. Mix black food coloring into warm water and add to the flour mixture. Make sure the topping is very black by adding more black food coloring if needed. I used gel food coloring and it worked very well. The topping will be sticky but still fluid enough to drip of the end of a spoon.
Using your hands, smear topping on rolls. Make sure to spread the topping fairly thick so that it forms the cracks when baked. Let the topping sit for 15 minutes to adhere to the bread dough and then bake according to package directions. Right out of the oven, slice open and slather on some garlic butter and devour!

These are beautiful! I did wonder what your hands looked like after playing with the black dough, though. ;)
ReplyDeleteLuckily, my hands washed up nicely. Thank you for your nice comment. :)
DeleteHi, I have a question!
ReplyDeleteHow do the brimstone bread taste sweet or hearty?
The bread is not sweet, more like a dinner roll or white bread. BUt I'm sure you could make them sweet if you use a bread mix for a sweeter bread, instead of the white bread mix I used here. Thank you for your comment.
DeleteOrdering some rice flour & black food coloring! Can't wait to try 🧟♀️🕷🎃🧛♀️🦇
ReplyDeleteLet me know how it turns out! Happy Halloween!
DeleteYou can add activated charcoal tas a natural food coloring if you don't have black food coloring!! Thanks for sharing! Just made them. They look great.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your suggestion. Happy Halloween!
DeleteThis product is not available anywhere in my area. Is there a "from scratch" substitute" or ay other work around. I need this asap for an event!
ReplyDeleteYou can definitely use a homemade bread recipe rather than the boxed bread, however you will need the rice flour to get the cracked appearance. Hope that helps.
DeleteI just made the brimstone bread and it turned out fabulous... I made my own dinner roll recipe which is on the sweet side and wore gloves when I put the black topping on...and I had to double the recipe for the topping which caused me to have to add more then double of the rice flour.... . can't wait for my Witch's tea
ReplyDeleteDoes the topping need rice flour or will a different flour work?
