Ingredients

  • 3 cups all purpose flour/Maida
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup grated beet root raw
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 ¼ teaspoon instant dry yeast
  • tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 cup warm milk or less/more for kneading
  • 1-2 teaspoons oil any vegetable oil

Instructions

  • First of all grate the raw beetroots. Squeeze out the juice. Keep it aside.
  • In a bowl mix all purpose flour/maida and salt. To this add grated beets.
  • Meanwhile in a mixing bowl add honey to warm water and mix well.
  • Add yeast to this and cover for 10 minutes to activate. Yeast should begin to foam. Add butter to this.
  • Now add these liquid ingredients to maida salt mix (dry ingredients) and knead dough.
  • To bind the dough keep adding warm milk while kneading to get a very soft and pliable dough.
  • Grease a deep dish/bowl with oil. Transfer kneaded dough to this bowl. Apply some oil all over the dough so that it's coated well from all sides.
  • Cover and keep in a dry and warm place to rise for 1 hour or until it gets doubled.
  • By now the dough will become bright pink color due to the beets. After an hour punch dough and knead for 5 minutes. Cover and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer this dough to a floured counter. Roll it out into a rectangle not bigger than the width of the pan you are using.
  • Roll the dough towards you, tightly. Pinch seams to seal. Place it in a greased 8.5x4 inch loaf pan with the seam side down.
  • Cover with a kitchen towel and leave it to rise for another 1 hour or till it rises well.
  • Meanwhile preheat oven to 180°C for 10 minutes. Bake beetroot bread for 35 to 40 minutes or till it turns golden on the top.
  • If the bread appears to be browning too quickly, cover it with a foil.
  • Remove from the pan after half and hour. Place it on the wire rack to cool down completely.
  • Cut into slices and enjoy with Tea/coffee.
