Recipe for beetroot buns

These beetroot fritters naturally get their beautiful color from beetroot. Both freshly grated beetroot, which is turned into the dough. But also beetroot powder, which is added to give the fritters a stronger color. Beetroot powder consists of freeze-dried beetroot, and it can be found in all health food stores. You can also easily do without the powder. It makes no difference to either the taste or consistency, but undeniably makes the beetroot fritters more festive to look at. Beetroot not only gives a beautiful color - it also tastes wonderful in baked goods and sweets. Also try the recipe for Beetroot cake with chocolate.  

TIP: Try adding sourdough to your beetroot fritters. Use 1 tbsp - 1 dl for good taste and increased shelf life. You can find my guide to sourdough right here.

Beetroot porridge with whole grains

These beetroot fritters are made with a generous amount of wholemeal flour. This ensures that they are very filling, making them an excellent addition to your lunchbox. Even though they are filled with wholemeal, the beetroot fritters are still soft, fluffy and spongy. And they stay that way for days after they are baked!

Easy breaks

The recipe for beetroot crumble is easy to follow, and especially if you have a mixer, it takes almost no time in the kitchen. However, you can also easily make the dough without it and knead it by hand. The procedure is exactly the same as for carrot break - here we just use grated beetroot. When the dough has risen, add the grated beetroot, eggs and sunflower seeds. This is done with a simple technique that is almost impossible to fail. Make a depression in the dough, which you fill with grated beetroot and sunflower seeds, and break an egg into it. Next, you fold the dough around the "filling" before chopping it with a knife or spatula, and moving pieces of the coarse dough onto a baking sheet. This way you get coarse crumbs with the perfect consistency.
