Green Tea Chocolate Marble Bread (1st Attempt)

It's time to update my post since I was busy and lazy to make new post for 3 months!

Just baked this delicious bread yesterday, I modified from the original recipe by adding green tea powder in the main dough to make this bread in 2 combinations of green tea & chocolate flavor. Though I was not pleased with the result 100% coz the I braided the dough a bit lose and I turned wrong side in some parts but the bread came out fine with a good taste. I could not resist to try once it came out from the oven and end up with eating a few slices when it's still warm.

My DH doesn't like sweet bread but for this recipe he told me that "It's great!" I will definitely made this bread again maybe in different flavor and hope my skill will be better to get a perfect one ^^
