Brilliant beetroot bread with a unique, fantastic flavour that's super easy to make!
Ingredients
300ml raw beetroot juice
50ml olive oil
400g strong bread flour
100g wholemeal flour
10g salt
7g dry yeast
Method
1. Line 2 baking trays (20cm x 10cm) with baking paper. Place the juice and olive oil in a large mixing bowl and stir in the remaining ingredients. Using your hands knead the dough for 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
2. Transfer to the greased mixing bowl, cover with a clean tea towel and then leave in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until double in size.
3. Turn out the dough onto a floured work surface and knead to knock out the air. Divide into two parts, about 450g each, and roll into loaves. Place into the prepared baking trays and set aside for 45 minutes to rise. Preheat the oven to 250°C / 230°C Fan / Gas Mark 9.
4. Spray the surface of the bread with cold water and bake for 30 minutes. When it's baked, the base should sound hollow when tapped. Leave to completely cool on a wire rack, then serve.
ENJOY!

Hleb od Cikle
Tjesto kad se zamesi može da ostane i nekoliko sati prekriveno da nadolazi, zavisi kako stojite s vremenom. Takodjer i ako vam je prostorija hladna slobodno ostavite hleb da nadolazi u tepsijama tj. kalupima dok ih pravo napune. Ukus pečenog hleba će samo dobiti na ukusu.
