1.Rainbow classic swirl bread
2.Fresh strawberry chocolate stuffed pull apart bread
3.Chocolare marble Asian bread
4.Anadama bread
Out of these four the pull part bread looked interesting to me but I didn't want to make sweet filling there.So I kind of altered the recipe for savory filling and made this bread for our dinner recently.The bread turned out pretty soft and yummy and I was happy to succeed on the first attempt :). Here goes the recipe with pics :)
