Spinach Beetroot Wheat Bread #BreadBakers

It’s always good to bake at home and eat fresh. While baking, if you are mindful of choosing healthy ingredients then nothing can beat it. There is no doubt that baking with whole-wheat is healthier than baking with All-purpose flour (Refined flour). And yes this Spinach Beetroot bread is also with 100% whole wheat.

My other popular 100% wheat bread recipes:

• Honey Buttermilk Bread
• Multigrain Sandwich Bread

It goes without saying that adding good + good is only going to make things better. And that’s a great idea, isn’t it? The Spinach Beetroot bread is a classic example of a combination of goodness of vegetables and whole wheat together. This breakfast bread stood great for June month theme naturally colored bread selected by Mireille Roc.

I have curated the list of recommended tools and ingredients for baking. I recommend only tried and tested products that have given satisfactory results in my kitchen.

Spinach Beetroot Bread

The earlier plan was to bake with beetroot only. Later, I felt a single color might look good, but what if, if we can make it colorful by adding more colors to our breakfast bread. Hence, to make my bread more beautiful I added spinach as well. This tricolor swirl bread made the bread look more gorgeous. Vegetables not only gave the color to the crumb but also enhanced its flavor.

Let’s get straight to the recipe spinach bread with beetroot.

Activating the Yeast

To start with first, we need to activate the yeast. Take 50 ml lukewarm water in a bowl. Add sugar and yeast to it. Stir and keep it aside until it froth. Feel free to use active dry yeast or Instant yeast depending on your choice. I recommend activating the yeast first and see if the yeast is in working conditions. Just in case the yeast wasn't working, adding it directly to ingredients will waste your ingredients as well.

Spinach and Beetroot puree

To give vibrant colors to our spinach beetroot bread, we have used the puree of both the vegetable. To make the puree, I blanched both the vegetables and then grind them to paste. I didn’t add extra water while making the puree. After making puree, let it come to room temperature.

Making the dough

In a large mixing bowl take flour, salt, milk powder, oil and add activated yeast solution. Start mixing all the ingredients. Once ingredients are evenly mixed, divide the mixture into two equal portions.

Add beetroot puree to one half and spinach puree to the other half. To make the smooth and soft dough I added 10 ml water to each mixture. Knead both the doughs for about 5-6 minutes more. When kneading is done keep the dough in a greased bowl covered with cling wrap and let it double in volume.

When the dough is double, punch it to release the air in it. Using a rolling pin, roll both the dough into a rectangular sheet. Place one sheet on another and roll them like a swirl. Ensure to seal all the open edges.

Proofing the dough

Meanwhile, grease a 9x4x4 bread tin with butter. Now keep the shaped bread dough into this greased tin with seam side facing downwards. Cover the dough again with cling wrap and let it rest until it doubles. It took approximately 40 minutes (proofing time depends on weather conditions).

Let’s bake Spinach Beetroot Bread

When the dough reaches to the rim of the tin, keep your oven for preheating at 200 °C. Preheat the oven for 10 minutes at least. Brush the dough with water sugar solution and bake in preheated oven. Use the middle rack for baking the bread and bake it for about 35 minutes. After 35 minutes, take the baked loaf out from oven and demold it. Keep it on a cooling rack and brush the loaf with butter. Let the bread rest for minimum of 2 hrs to get neat slices.
