Beet Bread

  • Prep 2 hr 25 min
  • Total 2 hr 55 min
  • Servings 1

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 1 1/2 cups raw beet puree (about 2 1/2 peeled medium beets)*
  • 3 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

Steps

  • 1
    In a small bowl, combine yeast, sugar and water. Let rest 5 minutes.
  • 2
    In the bowl of a stand mixer fixed with the paddle attachment, combine flour and salt. Add in yeast mixture, beet puree and olive oil. Mix until just combined.
  • 3
    Knead, by hand or in a stand mixer fixed with the dough hook, about 10 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • 4
    Remove risen dough from bowl and shape into a round ball. Place dough on a baking stone or parchment paper-lined baking sheet and cover loosely with a lightly greased piece of plastic wrap. Let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • 5
    Preheat oven to 375°F with an empty broiler pan placed on the rack beneath where you'll put the baking stone or sheet. Before baking the bread, sprinkle the top with a little flour and make an X shape on the top with a serrated knife.
  • 6
    Place the bread in the oven and pour 1 cup hot water into the broiler pan, closing the oven door immediately. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the bottom center of the loaf reads 190°F.
  • 7
    Allow bread to cool completely on a cooling rack before slicing or serving.
