Instructions

  • Warm the water and add yeast and sugar to it. Let stand for 10 minutes or until frothy.
  • Add the bread flour to the yeast mixture and mix well.
  • Add the salt, and the carrot ginger puree and mix well.
  • Add in the whole wheat flour,1 cup at a time and knead into a soft dough. Add more water if needed. The carrot will loose moisture during rising, so keep a dough a bit dry.
  • Place dough in a warm place, covered, for about an hour or until doubled.
  • Add some raisins to the dough and Knead for 5 minutes.
  • Shape dough into a loaf and place in a well greased bread pan.
  • Place bread pan in warm oven, with a pan of boiling water for half an hour. Cover the bread pan with wet towel.
  • Remove water and towel and bake bread at 350 degrees F / 180ºc  for about 30-35 minutes. Spray some water on the bread 1-2 times in the first 10 minutes. This bread takes a bit longer because of the extra water content in the carrots.
  • Cool on rack before slicing!
