I haven't been cooking much lately, but I've collected a few recipes ## Ingredients - 250 g small beets - 10 g fresh yeast - 1 tbsp sugar - 200 g all-purpose flour - 150 g buckwheat flour - 3 tbsp olive oil - salt - 100 g walnuts - 60 g gorgonzola - 2 eggs - 80 g crème fraîche - freshly ground nutmeg - 1 tsp thyme - freshly ground pepper ## Instructions Red beets are among the vegetables with the highest sugar content. Well, almost, because the sugar beet contains more. But besides sugar, red beets contain a huge amount of B vitamins, potassium, iron, and also folic acid. Beet juice is reportedly good for stamina, boosts immunity, and protects the intestines and liver from disease-causing agents. On top of that, it cleanses the blood, stimulates its circulation and boosts metabolism.

Crumble the yeast and stir it into 50 ml of warm water with 1 tbsp sugar. Set aside in a warm place for 10 minutes so the yeast gets going. Then mix the yeast with the all-purpose flour, buckwheat flour, olive oil, 100 ml of water and salt, and knead into a smooth dough. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for about 30 minutes. Peel the cooked and cooled beets and cut them into thin slices. Coarsely chop the walnuts and cut the gorgonzola into small pieces. Roll out the slightly risen dough and place it on a baking sheet dusted with flour (about 35×40 cm; I used the one that comes with my oven). Whisk the eggs, crème fraîche, salt, nutmeg, thyme and pepper together with a whisk. Then spread this mixture over the dough, and arrange the beet slices, gorgonzola and walnuts on top. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C (350°F) (convection 160°C (320°F)) for about 30 minutes.
