Create a stunning Turmeric & Beetroot Swirl Bread. Packed with antioxidants & color, it’s the perfect healthy homemade bread option!
Ingredients
- • whole wheat flour: 3 cups
- • active dry yeast: 2 teaspoons
- • warm water: 1 cup
- • honey: 2 tablespoons
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • salt: 1 teaspoon
- • turmeric powder: 2 teaspoons
- • beetroot puree: 1/2 cup
- • lemon zest: 1 teaspoon
- • ground flaxseeds: 2 tablespoons
- • warm almond milk: 1/4 cup
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, honey, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- 3 Add olive oil, salt, and 1 cup of whole wheat flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until well combined.
- 4 Divide the dough into two equal portions. To one half, add turmeric powder and lemon zest, kneading until evenly colored.
- 5 To the other half, add beetroot puree and ground flaxseeds, kneading until the dough is a consistent pink shade.
- 6 Roll out each piece of dough into a large rectangle of equal size. Layer the turmeric dough on top of the beetroot dough.
- 7 Roll the layered doughs together into a tight log, pinching the seams to seal.
- 8 Place the dough in a greased loaf pan. Cover with a cloth and let it rise in a warm area for about 20 minutes.
- 9 Brush the top with warm almond milk for an extra golden crust and bake for 35 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
- 10 Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Turmeric & Beetroot Swirl Bread is stunning on its own but pairs beautifully with a spread of avocado or a dollop of hummus for a nutrient-packed snack. For a refreshing side, serve slices with a crisp green salad topped with lemon vinaigrette. For a cozy breakfast, enjoy a toasted slice with a touch of almond butter and fresh berries. To complement the vibrant flavors, consider pairing this bread with a warm herbal tea, such as chamomile or ginger, to enhance its earthy notes and aid digestion.
Storage Tips
Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, slice and freeze the bread in a resealable plastic bag. Reheat slices in a toaster for a quick and nutritious snack while retaining its fresh flavor.
