Description

Discover the beauty and flavor of Beetroot Bread, a unique and delicious homemade loaf that will delight your senses. This easy-to-make recipe combines the earthy sweetness of beets with a light, fluffy texture, creating a bread that’s perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

– 2 cups all-purpose flour

– 1 teaspoon salt

– 1 teaspoon active dry yeast

– 1 cup warm water

– 1 cup grated fresh beetroots

– 2 tablespoons honey

– 2 tablespoons olive oil


Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and yeast. Create a well in the center and pour in the warm water, honey, and olive oil.

2. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients until a shaggy dough forms.

3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

4. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

5. Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles, then knead in the grated beetroots until evenly distributed.

6. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan. Cover and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

7. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

8. Bake the Beetroot Bread for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

– For an extra-vibrant color, use more beetroots in the dough.

– Experiment with different toppings like seeds, nuts, or a cream cheese spread.

– Store any leftover Beetroot Bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
