Honey Beet Bread Recipe
  • Prep: 30 min. + rising Bake: 30 min.
  • Yield: 32 Servings
30 30 60

Ingredients

  • 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
  • 1-1/2 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1-1/2 cups grated uncooked fresh beets, squeezed dry
  • 1 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 6-1/4 to 6-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg white, lightly beaten
  • Toasted sesame seeds

Directions

  • 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, about 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 two loaves. Place in two greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 40 minutes.
  • Brush with egg white; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until top begins to brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Yield: 2 loaves (16 slices each).

Fabulous recipe. The dough turns dark pink, but the baked bread comes out looking like the picture.

It was difficult to find fresh beets, but once I did, I made several loaves & put in freezer.

The one we ate was fantastic.
