That looks very pretty farfallina. I think there is a similar loaf in one of the TMX cookbooks here. It may be the Vegetarian one.
It is a bit different but still the 3 colours. It's called Three Colour Bread and CP63 has made it.

I know there is one similar recipe in one of the Bimby books cookie, the name of the book is il buon profumo del pane
The bread is called pane tricolore (tricolor bread)
Beet and basil leaves are giving the colors to that one.
I don't know if we are talking about the same one
I haven't tried it yet but I let you know when I will.
In the meantime if you want to try that recipe yourself I can translate and send to you
Let me know, ok ?

I honestly don't think my family would eat coloured bread. But thanks farfallina.
