My experience has been that colors tend to be more intense with whiter flours than whole flours.
When I tested my dried pea flowers for strength it seemed weak until I let the infusion stand overnight. Might want to try that too. I would suggest to Mix up a strong sample and control the colour as you add it to the dough. Any extra can be frozen into an ice cube or two for later use.
Try releasing the dye in hot water first then cool down to use in the dough.

But I think 5 g dry flower wasn't enough... I am going to double it for the next bake.
Thanks!
I will do what you say.
Freezing is a good advice!
Thank you! :-)
Are those blue spots from the flower? Yes, the flower did not color the whole bread but that is an amazing crumb!
Yes!
I added all of the flowers I steeped in hot water.
new picture... and you look great! Congratulations on your Diploma! Found your blog post:

The blue spots almost look like the dye is from whole flowers instead of a crushed dried powder.
It really looks like whole flowers.
The crumb looks so good! Great job.
