Best Bread Made With Beet Juice Recipes

HONEY BEET BREAD

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.

BEETROOT SOURDOUGH BREAD

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.

BEET BREAD

Steps:

• Beat sugar, eggs and oil until light and fluffy. Puree beets in blender until smooth. Beat into egg mixture.
• Blend flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, ginger and salt. Fold flour mixture and orange rind into batter, mixing well.
• Turn batter into a greased and floured loaf pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour.

• Combine brown sugar, orange juice, and reserved beet juice in saucepan; simmer over low heat until thickened. Pour over while bread is warm. Serve with cream cheese.

BREAD MADE WITH BEET JUICE

Steps:

• 1. In a small saucepan add the 1 cup beet juice and heat to scalding. Remove from heat and add the shortening, salt,and sugar.Set aside. Cool to lukewarm.
• 2. Put the 1/4 cup of beet juice in a measuring cup and heat to lukewarm in the microwave. Then be sure it is only lukewarm and sprinkle the yeast over top of the 1/4 cup juice. After it has bloomed(softened); add to the cooled mixture in the saucepan.
• 3. Pour the mixture into a large bowl and add 1/2 the flour , beat until smooth, add remaining flour and mix well. Knead on a lightly floured surface about 5 minutes.Let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 2 hours.
• 4. Shape into a loaf or rolls and place in well greased pan and brush the top with melted shortening. Let rise until doubled in bulk and bake in hot oven 375^ for 15 minutes then reduce heat to 350^ and bake for about 45 minutes longer.
• 5. Remove from pan and brush butter on all sides of bread. Let cool.

SWEET BEET BREAD

Steps:

• Grease a loaf pan (9 x 5 x 3 or 8 x 4 x 2) and set it aside.
• Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl (except the nuts).
• In a separate bowl, beat the egg and add the beet, oil, orange juice, and applesauce.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry all at once and mix until they are just combined.
• Fold in the chopped nuts.
• Pour the mixture into a prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 350 for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

GOLDEN BEET CAKE WITH THE BEST CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Steps:

• Cake
• Place rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°. Butter two 8"-diameter cake pans. Line bottom of pans with parchment paper rounds and butter parchment. Toast almonds on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing halfway through, until golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Transfer one third of almonds (½ cup) to a small bowl; set aside. Sprinkle coriander, cardamom, and fennel over remaining almonds on hot baking sheet and toss until spices are fragrant, about 30 seconds. Transfer to another small bowl; set aside.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl to combine. Beat eggs, oil, sugar, and 2 Tbsp. cherry juice in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium speed until combined, about 2 minutes (a whisk and a large bowl also work). Reduce speed to low and add half of dry ingredients; beat until mostly combined. Add remaining dry ingredients and beat until just a few steaks of flour remain. Using a rubber spatula, fold in cherries, beets, and reserved spiced almonds until evenly distributed and any remaining flour streaks are incorporated. Divide batter between prepared pans and smooth surface.
• Bake cakes until tops spring back when lightly pressed and a tester inserted into the centers comes out clean, 40-45 minutes (cake will be well browned). Transfer pans to a wire rack and brush or drizzle 2 Tbsp. cherry juice over each cake. Let cakes cool 20 minutes in pans. Run a knife or small offset spatula around edges of cakes and invert onto rack. Peel away and discard parchment paper rounds. Turn cakes right side up and let cool completely. Do ahead: Cakes can be baked 2 days ahead. Wrap tightly and chill, or freeze up to 3 months.
• Frosting and assembly
• Whisk sugar, flour, and salt in a medium saucepan to combine. Whisking constantly, pour in milk gradually to avoid lumps. Set over medium-high heat and cook, whisking often and scraping corners of pan, until mixture begins to thicken, about 4 minutes (slow bubbles will begin to form as the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan). Reduce heat to medium and cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute to cook off any floury taste. You should have a thick, glossy paste resembling rubber cement. Remove from heat and let cool, about 1½ hours. (If you're worried about floury lumps, pour hot mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, pushing through with a heatproof rubber spatula.)
• Transfer sugar mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. With motor running, beat in vanilla extract and almond extract (if using) on medium speed, then add butter, a piece at a time, beating until combined after each addition before adding more; repeat process with cream cheese. Turn off mixer, scrape down sides of bowl, then beat frosting until fluffy and lump-free, about 4 minutes. (Cover and chill until cold if you'd like the frosting firm enough to pipe decorations onto the finished cake.)
• Place a cake layer on a cake stand or plate. Top with 1½ cups frosting and spread to edges in an even layer. Place second cake, bottom side up, on top. Scoop 1 cup frosting on top of second layer and spread over top and sides until entire cake is covered in a thin layer (if bits of cake are still showing through, that's fine; this is only your crumb coat). Chill, uncovered, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day to firm up.
• Briefly beat remaining frosting to lighten, then scoop onto cake. Spread in an even layer across top and down sides of cake. Use an offset spatula or bench scraper to smooth sides and top. Sprinkle reserved toasted almonds in a cluster in the center of the cake. Do ahead: Sugar mixture can be made 3 days ahead; press plastic wrap or wax paper directly onto surface and chill. Let sit at room temperature 20 minutes before using. Frosting can be made 3 days ahead; cover and chill. Beat to lighten before using, about 4 minutes.
