Bread Machine Beetroot Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Mixing
• Combine a portion of the water in the recipe with the beetroot and puree until smooth in a blender, food processor, or with an immersion blender.
• Using a mortar and pestle or a mallet and a plastic bag, crush the vitamin C tablet(s) and add the powder to the beetroot puree, mixing thoroughly to dissolve.
• Combine all of the ingredients except the 65g reserved water into a bowl and mix thoroughly. Add some or all of the reserved water based on your preferred dough hydration.
• Gluten Development
• Over the next two hours, stretch and fold or coil fold the dough with about a half-hour rest in between each session. If possible make one of the later gluten development sessions be lamination. The dough is likely wet enough that you won't need water on your counter. Here are videos of the various gluten development techniques.
• At about the three hour mark, refrigerate the dough overnight (or 8-12 hours) in order to develop even more strength. You can also skip this step and simply continue the bulk fermentation until the dough has expanded by 50-75%.
• Pre-Shape, Bench Rest & Shaping
• In the morning, preshape the cold dough and let it rest uncovered on your counter for 20-30 minutes.
• Prep your you banneton liner/tea towel with plenty of flour.
• Shape your dough into the loaf type you prefer. Here's are a variety of different shaping videos.
• Flour the top of the shaped dough, flip it into your banneton, and cover.
• Final Proof & Baking
• Let the dough final proof for about two hours at room temperature, possibly longer if your kitchen temperature is under 70F and shorter if you didn't do the overnight refrigeration (cool dough).
• Preheat your oven to 500F for 30 minutes with your baking vessel inside.
• When the preheat is complete, flip the dough onto a piece of parchment paper, score it, and load it into the baking vessel.
• If using a clay baker, bake the bread:
• 20 minutes covered at 500F
• 10 minutes covered at 450F
• 5-10 minutes uncovered at 450F
• If using a cast iron vessel, add a sheet of foil under the parchment and bake the bread:
• 20 minutes covered at 500F, then add a baking sheet directly under the vessel
• 10 minutes covered at 450F
• 5-10 minutes uncovered at 450F
• Let the bread cool for about 2 hours before slicing.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add honey; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the beets, milk, butter, salt and 3 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough., Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 50 minutes., Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide dough in half. Shape into 2 loaves. Place in 2 greased 9x5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 40 minutes., Brush with egg white; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake at 350° until top begins to brown, 30-35 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. If desired, serve with honey and butter.

Steps:

• Place the water, sugar and yeast in the pan of the bread machine. Let the yeast dissolve and foam for 10 minutes. Add the oil, flour and salt to the yeast. Select Basic or White Bread setting, and press Start.
