Spicy Swirl Bread a step by step guide on how to make spicy swirl bread recipe. My friend had come home for weekend so made these Spicy Swirl Bread for her and my family during tea time. I asked her what she would like to eat so she mentioned something spicy. Spicy Swirl Bread always results tasty and delicious bread. I wanted to make Banana bread but my friend doesn’t like sweets Or desserts. So I made these……Anyways we all relished these Spicy Swirl Bread and had lots of fun 🙂
I was quite content, happy after making these swirls. It’s quite easy if you know basic baking of bread. These Indian spices just adds a lot of flavor, aroma and taste to the breads. You could just spread your favorite cheese spread, butter Or just eat the swirls.
These breads give nice glaze and looks tempting. Mine got over the same day. Some we ate with tea rest we ate with lunch. These swirls also tastes great with curry. We ate with Bombay duck curry……. I know you are jealous. So simply make these Spicy Swirl Bread and eat them.
Let’s make spicy swirl bread recipe step by step:
- Preheat oven at 180°C for about 5 mins before baking. Grease the pan with oil Or butter. I don’t have pics for step 1 and step 2.
2. Take lukewarm water add yeast to it. Combine sugar stir with a spoon. Keep it in a humid place for 7 to 10 mins for frothing. Once the yeast has froth and is bubbling add salt to it. Keep this mixture aside. Take all whole spices from number 6 to 9. Just crush the with a Pestle and mortar them.
3. Please just crush them don’t be too harsh else powder will form.
4. Now sift flour and combine yeast to it.
5. Start kneading with your fingers until appears like bread crumbs. Knead with lots of pressure for 5 mins. Add olive oil to it.
6. It’s time to add the crushed spices to the flour. Leave about 2 t/s crushed spice for glazing.
7. Keep kneading for another 10 mins until the dough is soft and smooth. Ensure no lumps are formed also add little water if required.
8. The dough should be slightly sticky. Now shape the dough into a round ball Or oval shape. Place the dough on a greased vessel in a humid place. Cover it with a damp muslin cloth Or towel. After 30 mins the dough should double its size.
9. Now start kneading the dough on a flat surface dusted with flour. Form 7 balls of it. Now shape these balls into 7 ropes.
10. Just twist the rope with your hand forming into spiral Or bagels Or buns Or any shape you desire.
11. With the help of brush spread some butter on the swirls. Now take egg yolk mixed with one t/s water.
12. Brush the egg yolk on the swirls. Finally sprinkle with the reserve crushed spices following the pattern of your bread. Again keep these swirls into a humid place covered with a damp cloth. This will double up their size in 30 mins Or may be a little earlier.
13. Place these swirls on baking dish Or pan. Bake at 180°C for about 12 to 14 mins Or until dark brown in color. You could place them one inch apart however I didn’t have a big container hence my swirls beautifully baked. We pulled the bread apart and ate them.
14. Transfer the swirls on a wire rack to cool down. Your Spicy Swirl Bread is ready. Serve hot with a hot cup of tea.
Tip:
- Vegetarians can discard eggyolks. Once your swirls are baked just brush some butter on the bread for the glaze.
- You could use your own combination of spices like oregano, jalapeno, chili flakes, blackpepper.
- Instead of swirls you could just bake them in a loaf pan.
Enjoy Swirling!

Hi Maria,
Plan on making this delicious looking bread just wanted to know if it is necessary to add cream cheese as mentioned in point 11.
Thanks
