Ingredients

• 120 grams Cooked beetroot (pureed)
• 180 milliliters Water
• 400 grams Bread flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Instant yeast

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the beetroot puree. Cook beetroot until soft (if not using pre-cooked), peel, and puree using a blender or food processor until smooth. Measure 120 grams of the puree.

Step 2

Add the ingredients to your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, this means adding the wet ingredients first: begin with the beetroot puree, water, and olive oil.

Step 3

Next, add the dry ingredients: bread flour, salt, and sugar, sprinkling them evenly over the liquid ingredients.

Step 4

Make a shallow well in the flour and add the instant yeast to the well, ensuring it does not touch the liquid at this stage.

Step 5

Set the bread machine to the basic or white bread setting, medium crust color. The total cycle should take around 3 hours depending on your machine.

Step 6

Start the machine and let it work through the mixing, kneading, rising, and baking stages. Check the dough consistency after 5-10 minutes of mixing. If it appears too wet, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until the dough forms a smooth ball. If it seems too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time.

Step 7

Once the cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan and let the bread cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Step 8

Serve as desired—this vibrant bread is perfect for sandwiches, toast, or on its own with butter.
