Time 4h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1 ½ tablespoons shortening
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
½ cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 egg
2 cups shredded carrots
1 cup raisins
7 ½ cups bread flour, divided
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground cloves

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.

I'm disappointed with this recipe. The bread turned out dry and crumbly.

This bread is a little too sweet for my taste. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This bread is perfect for a quick breakfast or snack. I often make a loaf on the weekend and then slice it up and freeze it. It's a great way to have a healthy snack on hand.

I like to add a handful of chopped walnuts to this bread for extra crunch.

I've made this bread with both white and whole wheat flour. I prefer the whole wheat version because it's a little healthier.

I'm not usually a fan of carrot cake, but I really enjoyed this bread. The carrots add a nice moistness and the raisins add a touch of sweetness.

The glaze on this bread is the perfect finishing touch. It adds a touch of sweetness and makes the bread look extra special.

This bread is so moist and flavorful! I love the combination of carrots and raisins. It's also really easy to make, which is a bonus.

My family loves this recipe! It's a great way to use up leftover carrots, and the raisins add a touch of sweetness. I usually make it as a loaf, but I've also made it as rolls, which are perfect for picnics or lunchboxes.
