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!

  • Total time does not include 2.5 hours proving time.

    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.
