In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of warm water, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 packet of active dry yeast. Allow this mixture to sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes bubbly and frothy, indicating the yeast is activated.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of bread flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until they are well blended.

Pour the activated yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the well of the dry ingredients. Mix everything until the dough begins to come together, then knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Divide the dough into two equal parts, adding red food coloring to one half and black food coloring to the other, mixing well.

On a lightly floured surface, roll each colored dough into long strips, then gently twist them together to create a spiraled loaf.

Place the twisted dough into a greased loaf pan, cover it, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 2 hours.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) as the dough rises.

Bake the Vampire Bread for approximately 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Let it cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
