Citrus Beet Bread Rolls

July 2, 2008 at 6:29 pm | In recipe |

in front: Citrus Beet Roll, in the back: Sour Cream Rolls

these rolls have a crispy crust and a nice crunch from the bulgur. plus, they’re kind of pink thanks to the beets. fun times!

for 6 rolls:

3/4 cup beet purée (you can either use canned beets, not pickled though, or cook your own, then purée it in your blender, food processor, or with a handheld mixer)
2/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, or good-quality (aka: not from concentrate) store-bought orange juice
1 T margarine
2 T agave nectar
2 cups whole wheat flour (lightly spooned and leveled)
1 cup bread flour (same)
1/3 cup bulgur wheat
1/2 t ginger powder
1/4 t ground nutmeg
a few turns of the pepper mill worth of white pepper
3 T vital wheat gluten
1 1/2 t fine sea salt
2 t bread machine yeast

place all ingredients in your bread machine pan. use DOUGH setting and let the good times roll.

20 minutes or so before the dough is done rising, preheat your oven to 375F and prepare an 8×8 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. melt about 2 T margarine to use for brushing on rolls before baking.

punch down dough, divide into 6 equal parts, and shape into rolls. place rolls into baking pan, brush margarine on top.

bake for 28 minutes or until instant-read thermometer finds the rolls to be at about 195-200F in the middle.

remove from pan and let cool on a rack.

  2. Your bread always turns out so good and I want to make pink bread but I don’t like beets. Is this bread too beet-y? I can’t think of substitute pink vegetable. Should I just make the rolls instead?

    I’m pretty much a big pain, huh…

  3. I’ve been trying to think of ways to get more beets in my life, sounds great! (And it’s pink! I love funky colored foods!)

  5. Great way to use beets (besides the beet-chocolate cake, that is)! These look terrific.

  7. thanks guys! girls. whatever. :)

    yeah Diann, you might want to go for another recipe instead. it’s not overly beet-y at all, I think it has more of an orange flavor, but still. might be safer to go for something else entirely.

  8. Pink is the finest color for food in my opinion! They look really delicious and delightfully carby!

  10. ‘beet’ is actually one of my favorite colors :D. If I could be a root veggie, I’d most definitely be a beet, they’re so darn cute and fun looking. These rolls sound really tasty, I’m glad I have your blog to come to when I need a carb fix. I might try these this coming Thanksgiving (or sooner!); these put plain old rolls to shame!
