List of Ingredients
Zucchini and Carrot Bread
3 cups coarsely grated zucchini squash
1 tablespoon salt
2 cups coarsely grated carrots
3 1/2 cups white bread flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 seven-gram packet of instant yeast
1 1/4 cup warm water, 110 degrees
2 cups fine ground whole wheat flour
1/2 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon cinnamonRecipe
1. Grate the zucchini. Place the zucchini in colander over the sink and stir in the salt. The salt will draw water from the zucchini. Grate the carrots and set them aside.
2. Place the white bread flour, sugar, and yeast in the bowl of your stand-type mixer. Add the warm water and beat with a dough hook until it is partially mixes. The purpose of this mix is to hydrate the yeast.
3. Squeeze the water from the zucchini. Add the vegetables to the mixer bowl along with the whole wheat flour, the rest of the salt, the butter, and the cinnamon. Knead with the dough hook at medium speed for four minutes. You will likely need to adjust the moisture level either by adding flour or water. Start out a little on the dry side as the kneading tends to wring water from the zucchini. Set the dough in a greased bowl, turn once, and cover. Set the bowl in a warm place and allow it to double in size.
4. Grease two large loaf pans. Form two loaves, cover them, and let them rise until doubled and puffy.
5. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes or until done. The internal temperature should be at 190 to 200 degrees. If this bread is under baked, with all the vegetables, it will tend to be soggy. Remove and let the bread cool on a wire rack.
