You will NEVER believe the vibrancy of this bread - both before and after baking! Slightly sweet and earthy from beets and maple syrup, and packed full of vitamins and fibre too!

Ingredients
  • 2/3 cups warm water, divided
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp (1 envelope) active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warmed plain, unsweetened soy milk (or regular)
  • 2 cups grated cooked beet
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp vital wheat gluten
  • 3 tbsp dry non-dairy creamer (like Coffee Mate... I used low fat)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp beet fibre (left over from juicing, optional)

Directions
  1. Whisk together warm water and sugar. Add yeast and let stand 10 minutes.
  2. Heat milk, grated beet and syrup to "body temperature".
  3. In a large mixing bowl whisk together flours, gluten, creamer, salt and beet fibre.
  4. Pour in yeast and milk mixtures and beat until a fairly smooth dough forms.
  5. Knead for 10 minutes on a lightly floured surface, until elastic.
  6. Place in an oiled bowl, cover and allow to rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours.
  7. Preheat oven to 375F, grease a loaf pan.
  8. Punch down dough, shape into a loaf and place into the pan, tucking ends under.
  9. Cover and let rise again for 1 hour.
  10. Bake for 40 minutes, tenting with foil after 20.

Darling hair product(jojoba?)(please excuse if wrong) I love this idea, beeetroot bread, wow,my crazy boss is going to love this one!!, ok he is a bit odd, but I like it so he don't have no choice!!!(ha ha hha ha ha).

(edit) erm, having seen the dietry breakdown if you are not in seriously ill health is bread a problem?, if you have an intolerance to wheat/gluten/sugar/fiber/yeast/beetroot(very high in antioxidants) or real food...! please feel free to not enjoy this wonderful bread.
was that OTT?


Bear, I don't quite understand your second comment, but this bread is divine. I made a lemon-dill cream cheese spread for this at lunch, it was truly awesome!


This looks very interesting especially when finding that this use to be the way red velvet cake was made before cheating was allowed with food coloring. I have never made red velvet cake nor this either but I am intrigued to start. Thanks for the post. This is good for the Cooking for Cash group and you deserve the 5.


I just made this the other day, and have it sliced and frozen in the freezer now. I didnt add the maple syrup cause i didnt have any, and also spread some dill paste over the top after the second rise. Yummy! Its great toasted and spread with hummus dip!
