Let’s talk about the recipe:
Making this whole wheat beet crepes recipe is quite practical and simple. The ingredients used are just a few and often used, easy to find in any market. As a result, you will get pliable and docile crepes. Ideal for making cannelloni with different types of fillings.
About the ingredients:
At Integralisimo, the whole wheat flour used is 100% whole grain, fine ground (I don’t use mixes unless I mention it). In general, depending on its brand, it can absorb more or less amount of liquid. So I recommend incorporating them gradually. Keep in mind that the lower the volume is, smaller final product you will get.
The fat type used in this opportunity is olive oil. Although it can be replaced by butter, margarine or some other type of oil. As a result, depending on what fat is used, it can modify its flavor and final texture.
Those who do not consume regular milk can replace this ingredient with a non-dairy milk or water. Results will vary accordingly, but the recipe can be made anyway. Therefore, remember that the type of ingredient that is used and its quality influence the final product.
About beets:
Despite the speed and simplicity of this recipe, this preparation has an extra step. Which is to prepare the beet puree. For this, you can pre-cook or not the beetroot. However, having a dense and hard pulp, it would be convenient to boil the necessary time until they soften.
However, if you have a powerful blender, you could save this step. Because you could peel the beets and blend them directly. The machine may find it difficult to work as it is so thick. Therefore, to help this process and make the machine work better, a little water is added. This way you will obtain a smooth and homogeneous puree.
About the dough:
It is a very soft and light dough, which does not need beating or raising times. But like any dough for crepes or pancakes, it is recommended that it rest at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Although if it is prepared the day before, it is still much better. In this way, the flour is properly hydrated and gives body to the dough.
About Cooking:
Cooking is fast, usually a couple of minutes at low temperature. They are usually not cooked for long, so they stay soft and docile. As soon as the edges come off, turn and cook on the other side for a few more seconds. Finally, the beetroot whole wheat crepes are stacked, thus preserving their moisture.
