Golden Beet Bread
Well, this morning i noticed some golden beets just sitting around in my fridge. So i thought it would be a great idea to try out this Golden Beet Bread recipe i found. Now it is not the same one, i made a few of my own changes. Such as; the flour being used and i added honey to my recipe. It calls for whole wheat flour and unbleached but im just going to use All-Purpose flour. This is just because not everyone has all sorts of different flours hanging around there pantries, but almost everyone always has AP flour. I also added honey to the recipe, this is because beets golden or not tend to have a deep earthy almost dirt like flavor. The honey will help to sweeten the bread while also making it a little more moist when done. So where is the recipe and you tell me what you think when you make it.
Golden Beet Bread
1/2 pound Golden Beets
2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 Cup Water
1 Cup Granulated White Sugar
1/2 Cup Margarine, Melted
2 Whole Eggs
1/2 Cup Honey
Directions:
1.) You can either boil/steam/roast your beets. either way you choose, cook until tender (about 40min-1hr) One way to tell when they are done is to take one and with a clean, dry rag start to rub the skin of the beets. If it peels right off they are good to go. If its giving you some trouble throw them back in for 10-15 more mins.
2.) Once you have cooked and peeled the beets, cut them into medium sized chunks and puree in a blender until smoot. Then measure out 1 cup pf puree. (you can add your honey here if you would like.)
3.) Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.(175 Degrees C.)
4.) In a mixing bowl gently mix together your flour, baking soda, and salt.
5.) In another bowl, Mix the cup of beet puree to your 1/2 cup water and stir until smooth.
6.) In a mixer, place your margarine and sugar, mix on low speed until well blended. (about 2-3mins) Add in your beet puree mixture, eggs, and honey, mix until combined.
7.) Gradually start adding your Flour mixture 1 cup at a time, ensuring to mix after each cup is added.(just until encorperated.) Once all the flour mixture is added and fully combined, pour batter into a loaf pan that has been pan sprayed. Bake in over at 350 for about 55-65mins. Test with a toothpick 45-55mins in, if it comes out clean it is done. if not leav ing and cook fo about 10 mins longer.
