A delicious and nutritious bread baked with a combination of wholegrain rye and organic spelt, enriched with blood-lowering effect of beetroot, and fiber and protein rich walnuts - a perfect breakfast bread. If you want a really pinky bread, replace the buttermilk with beetroot juice.

100 g Wholegrain rye, ground into flour 200 g Organic wholegrain spelt flour 1 tsp Baking powder 1 package / 7 g Active dried yeast 1/2 tsp Salt 1 tsp Sugar 1 tsp Fresh ginger root, finely grated 150 g Beetroot juice, at room temperature 200 g Buttermilk, at room temperature 4 tbsp Walnut oil 100 g Cooked beetroot, diced 100 g Walnuts, halved lengthwise 1 tsp Fennel seeds

2. Fold in diced cooked beetroot, 80 grams of walnuts and fennel seeds. The dough should be thick and sticky. Now scrape the dough into the prepared loaf pan. Lightly press the rest of the walnuts into the dough.
