Carrot Ginger Raisin Bread

This bread is very moist because of the carrot and a bit spicy because of the ginger and goes well with Chai Tea!

  • Serves 8
  • Prep 1 hour
  • Cook 1 hour
  • Total 2 hours

Ingredients

  • 1 cup bread flour
  • 2-3 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 -1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup carrot pureed
  • 2 inch ginger grated or pureed along with the carrots
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons active yeast
  • 1/2 cup raisins

Instructions

  1. 1

    Warm the water and add yeast and sugar to it. Let stand for 10 minutes or until frothy.

  2. 2

    Add the bread flour to the yeast mixture and mix well.

  3. 3

    Add the salt, and the carrot ginger puree and mix well.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    Place dough in a warm place, covered, for about an hour or until doubled.

  6. 6

    Add some raisins to the dough and Knead for 5 minutes.

  7. 7

    Shape dough into a loaf and place in a well greased bread pan.

  8. 8

    Place bread pan in warm oven, with a pan of boiling water for half an hour. Cover the bread pan with wet towel.

  9. 9

    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.

  10. 10

    Cool on rack before slicing!
