Beetroot Bread
 לחם סלק

What you'll need :
2 tsp dried yeast (=6 gr)
100ml double cream (or 38% fat cream)
200ml milk
1/2 tsp sugar
125g (4oz) cooked plain beetroot grated finely and drained well
450g (1lb) AP flour
1/2 tsp oil (not olive oil)
1 tsp salt

H O W :
1. Slightly warm the cream + the milk.
2. Sprinkle the yeast into the cream-milk, add the sugar, mix and leave for 15 minutes.
3. Put the beetroot and flour into a mixer bowl and stir in the salt and oil .mix (by hand).
4. Make a well in the centre and add the cream-milk- yeast mixture.
5. Mix well to form a dough (which at this point will be a spectacular pink in colour!).
6. Knead the dough for 10 minutes (with your mixer). (add 3-4 TB flour id needed)
7. Place in a clean oiled bowl.
8. Cover and leave in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.
9. Knock the dough back and knead for few minutes.
10. Divide the dough into 2 parts (430 gr each one) and form into round loaves.
11. Place on a baking sheet and leave to stand for 30-35 minutes. (It's better to sprinkle flour on top of each Bread).
12. Bake at 190C  for about 35-40 minutes until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on its base.
Idea for this recipe (with changes) from this recipe.

Few Tips for you :
*When you use cooked beet you'll get a yellow Bread .With uncooked beets you'll get a pink bread (but
please, don't try the uncooked version here)
* You can use single cream instead of double cream and the milk (there is no single cream here in Israel).

My Beetroot Bread - here is how it's done:
The Beet (only 1 -there will be leftover) before cooking :



















Cook the Beetroot in pure water (don't add salt or sugar) until soft, for 30-40 minutes:













Here is the cooked Beetroot (Cool it, then grated finely, draine well before adding to the flour):

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Now add the Beets to the flour:


















Add the cream-milk-yeast mixture (after letting it stand for 15 minutes, only few bubbles. it's OK):


















Knead for 10 minutes:










After the dough is doubled in size.. after kneading it again, divide it into 2 (430 gr each one) and form into 2 round and nice loaves :












... leave to stand for 30-35 minutes :














Here is the baked Bread:

As a girl I like pink! It is a pitty it changes its color during baking. ;-) Anyway I am sure it is delicious. Thank you for participating in World Bread Day 2011 and thank you for your kind words, too.
