Rosemary Ginger Turnip Bread | Edible Houston

Step 1

In a small bowl mix yeast, water and honey. Let sit for 5 minutes, until bubbly. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add yeast mixture, flour, ginger, turnips, rosemary, sea salt and olive oil. Knead on medium-high for 10–12 minutes, until a ball forms. The dough will form a tight ball that springs back to the touch. If it sticks slightly to the bowl, coat with a small amount of flour. (If you do not have a mixer, knead with hands.)Remove dough from the mixer and place into a cast-iron pan coated with oil OR into a loaf pan. Place in a warm area and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. You can cover it with a warm, damp towel to help it proof.Preheat oven to 350°F.Brush the top of the loaf with olive oil and sprinkle on fresh rosemary, sea salt and, if you like, thinly sliced raw turnips.Bake 40–50 minutes until golden in color.
