    Ingredients

    • 2/3 cups (80 g) whole wheat flour
    • 2/3 cups (83 g) bread flour
    • 1 teaspoon vital wheat gluten (optional)
    • 1 teaspoon flax meal
    • 3 tablespoons raw sugar or equivalent agave/maple syrup
    • 1.5 teaspoons active yeast
    • 1/2 cup (125 g) water
    • 1 medium beet , peeled and chopped (about 1/2 cup chopped)
    • 1/2 cup (74 g) fresh ripe blueberries
    • 1/2 teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) pumpkin pie spice
    • 1 tablespoon Organic canola oil
    • 1/2 teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) salt

    Instructions

    • Add the yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar to 1/4 cup (60ml) warm water and mix well. Let stand for 10 minutes or until frothy.
    • In a blender, puree the beet and blueberries with the remaining sugar and flax meal and some warm water if needed.
    • In a bowl add the flours, pumpkin pie spice, wheat gluten and salt and mix.
    • Add in the yeast mixture, oil and beet blueberry puree.
    • Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes, scraping sides every 2-3 minutes if using a stand mixer. add more flour or water in little quantities if needed. As with any fresh fruit/vegetable bread, the fruit gives out a little extra moisture than a normal bread while the dough sits for the rising time. The dough should be soft and not too sticky.
    • Spritz the top of dough with some oil spray. Place dough in a covered container in a warm place for 1.5 hours.
    • Punch it lightly. For mini loaf pans, divide dough into 2 parts. Knead and shape into a loaf by pulling on all sides, or by rolling it out into a rectangle and rolling the rectangle from one side and tucking the other edge under.
    • Place loaf in greased mini bread pans. Spritz the top with water and then spritz a little oil spray and cover with damp towel.
    • Place it in a warm place or warm oven for 50 minutes.
    • Remove towel, spritz top with some water and bake at 365 degrees F for 25 minutes. (30 minutes if baking one loaf)
    • Remove bread from pan and let cool for an hour.
    • Slice and enjoy as is, topped with the creamy herbed berry topping( vegan cream cheese mixed with mashed berries and herbs), or marmalade, or nut butters, or topped with a tofu scramble!

      This loaf looks extremely delicious! I must try it. I think I will omit the vital wheat gluten. I have strong bread flour that must be used up soon.
