INGREDIENTS FOR YIELDS

  • 4 cups (500g) all-purpose Flour
  • 1 tablespoon (10g) Instant dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) Vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup (50g) Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (6g) salt
  • 1 medium-large Beetroot (200-250g)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) water
  • 1 Egg + 1 tbsp oil for brushing
  • Sesame seeds

DIRECTIONS

1. Peel beets and place in the food processor or blender, add 1/2 cup water and process until smooth. Set aside.

2. In a bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl, place flour, yeast, sugar, salt and mix. Make a well in the center and add egg, oil and beet puree. Knead the dough on low speed. If the dough too dry and 1-2 tablespoons water, if the dough too sticky, add 1-2 tablespoons flour. knead the dough for 6-8 minutes. The dough should be soft and smooth.

3. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, place in a warm place and let rise for 1 hour. Until doubled in size.

4. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a long rope roughly 1-inch thick. If the ropes shrink as you try to roll them, let them rest for 5 minutes to relax the gluten and then try again.

5. Braid the challah as described in the video. Place braid challah on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise for 40-60 minutes

6. Preheat oven to 360F (180C).

7. Gently brush with beaten egg and oil. Sprinkle sesame seeds (optional).

8.Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown on the edges. Let cool for at least 30 minutes.
