fund raiser for ovarian cancer
A really good friend that has recently been diagnosed with ovarian cancer is undergoing treatment and the hospital is fund raising with a bake off for tomorrow. To show our support i am entering some loaves in the savoury section, i have just finished the loaves which are BEETROOT AND SUNFLOWER and a 50% WHOLEMEAL WITH STOUT, FETA AND WALNUT.
BEETROOT AND SUNFLOWER LOAF
the 50% WHOLEMEAL STOUT WITH FETA AND WALNUT LOAF before the oven

AND THERE WE HAVE IT ready to go to the hospital for judgement and sale
i do hope to be able to get a crumb shot at the hospital.
i will post the details of the doughs the bake and how tomorrow goes
oh! and a 2009 EVANS AND TATE CLASSIC WHITE from Margaret River for those that might be interested

Hi Yozza,
Those are beautiful loaves. Did you use a glaze? Their lovely shape and shine will surely make them stand out. I am sure they will be a great contribution to the fund raiser.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your friend.
Best wishes, Daisy_A
Hi Daisy i used an egg and milk wash, the wholemeal was washed prior to going in the oven and the beetroot for the last 5 minutes of baking, the opaque look comes from the fact that the dough was fairly liberaly dusted with rye flour.

Goodmorning Yozza
Great bake - they'll be snapped up. Best wishes for the sale today, it'll be interesting to hear more about it. Is there a specific project the funds will be used for?
I too have your friend in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks folks for the comments and kind thoughts expressed i have printed them off and will pass them to the ladies at the hospital.
I have had to be strong and not cut into the breads to either see if the beetroot colour has remained or for my breakfast.
I did a beetroot loaf before but posted it as a chamelon bread (search chameleon bread) SORRY dont know how to add the link? as the pink had all but disappeared to a yellow /green colour, in that dough i grated beetroot into the preferment whereas this one i used the beetroot as cubes and incorporated at the end of the mix, this time i also used the water the beets were boiled in for a lovely hot pink preferment. More to follow !
