Carrot Yeast Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour an 8x4-in. loaf pan; set aside. In a bowl, combine sugar, flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. In another bowl, combine eggs, applesauce and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients until just moistened. Fold in carrots and walnuts. Pour into prepared pan. , Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, 50-55 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
• In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Combine eggs, oil and milk; stir into flour mixture until well blended. Stir in carrots, coconut, cherries, raisins and walnuts. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack for ten minutes before removing from the pan to cool completely. Store in plastic wrap to keep moist.

Steps:

• In bread machine pan, place the first nine ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select basic bread setting. Choose crust color and loaf size if available. Bake according to bread machine directions (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed). Just before final kneading (you machine may audibly signal this), add walnuts and raisins.

Steps:

• 1. Stir together flour, vital wheat gluten and water. 2. Let rest 30 minutes to autolyze. 3. Add yeast and remaining ingredients. Mix just until combined. Do not knead. 4. With wet hands, roll dough into a bowl, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rest at room temperature for at least 2 and up to 20 hours. If the dough rises too fast, finish proofing in the refrigerator. 5. The dough can be used immediately after the initial rise, or stored, loosely covered, in the refrigerator if used within 5 days. 6. When ready to bake, dust the surface of the refrigerated dough with flour and cut off a 1-pound (grapefruit-sized; 450 grams) piece. Shape it into a ball by stretching the surface of the dough around to the bottom on all four sides, rotating the ball a quarter-turn as you go. 7. Allow the loaf to rest, covered with a towel, in an oiled bowl, on a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal, a silicone mat, or greased cookie sheet for 1 hour and 45 minutes (1 hour if using fresh, unrefrigerated dough). 8. 1/2 hr before baking time, preheat a dutch oven on the middle rack. If using a baking stone, also place an empty metal broiler tray on the rack below. 9. If desired, just before baking, use a pastry brush to paint the top with plain water or an egg wash. Sprinkle with raw sugar. 10. Slide the loaf directly into the hot dutch oven, replace lid and bake. Alternately, place loaf onto the hot stone. (Or place the silicone mat or cookie sheet on the stone.) and pour one cup hot tap water into the broiler tray and quickly close the oven door. 11. Bake for 45-50 minutes with lid on and an additional 15-20 minutes with the lid removed to achieve desired crust. If you used a mat or cookie sheet, remove it and bake the loaf directly on the stone for the last third of the baking time. 12. Allow bread to cool on a rack before slicing.

Steps:

• Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Mix in the sugar, salt and shortening; stir until melted. Let cool until lukewarm. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the cooled milk mixture and egg; stir well to combine. In a separate bowl, combine carrots, raisins, 2 cups flour, cinnamon, allspice and cloves. Mix together with your fingers until carrots and raisins are coated and separated.
• Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hour.
• Deflate dough and allow to rise again until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes.
• Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal pieces and form into loaves. (At this point, you may divide the dough into 12 pieces and form into rolls if you wish.) Place the loaves into two lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pans. Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Bake in preheated oven until crust is golden and loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
