This is how the beetroot is guaranteed – 5 tips

So that the beetroot bread becomes as good and tasty as with ours, we have put together the following tips for you:

• The most important tip: Bake the bread in a closed saucepan. A dutch oven, a roaster or a Roman pot is particularly suitable. You can read why this is so important in the post “Why should bread bake in steam”.
• Use a fermentation basket for the last dough. The dough can be easily loosened from this and your bread gets the typical white stripes.
• Stretch and fold the dough several times during the first two hours after kneading. In this way, it develops more stability and can be shaped better later.
• Cut the dough into a cross -shaped one before baking so that the crust bursts particularly nicely.
• Let the bread cool down after baking in the slightly opened oven. So the crust becomes particularly crispy.
