ORANGE CARROT BREAD
List of Ingredients
- 2 packages active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water (110 -115)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions
- Sprinkle yeast on warm water; stir until dissolved. Add sugar, salt, spices, egg, butter, orange juice, and peel. Stir in 3 cups of the flour. Beat until smooth. Add raisins and carrots; blend well. Gradually add enough remaing flour to make a soft dough. Turn out on lightly floured board; knead until smooth, about 5 to 8 minutes, adding more flour if needed. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm place, free from draft, until double in bulk (about one hour). Divide in half; shape each half into a loaf. Place each loaf in a greased 9 x5x3 inch loaf pan. Cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 1 hour). Bake at 400 degrees about 35 to 40 minutes, or until done. Remove from pan and cool on rack. Makes 2 loaves.
