Categories     100+ Breakfast and Brunch Recipes     Breakfast Bread Recipes

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.

MIMI'S CARROT RAISIN BREAD (MUFFINS) RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Mimi's Carrot Raisin Bread (Muffins) Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by luvs2cook

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
3 eggs
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup canned crushed pineapple, with juice, drained
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup finely shredded carrots

Steps:

  • 1. Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt into a mixing bowl. (or just dump them in and mix, I don't care) 2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar and eggs. 3. Stir the liquid mixture into the flour; mix well. 4. Add the walnuts, pineapple, raisins and carrots; stir again. 5. Grease and flour a 9" square pan or four mini-loaf pans. Fill the pans 2/3 full with batter. 6. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 40 minutes. (Mini-loaves take about 30 minutes).

Tips:

  • Use fresh carrots: Fresh carrots are sweeter and have a better texture than store-bought ones. If you can, try to buy organic carrots, as they are grown without pesticides and herbicides.
  • Grate the carrots finely: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the bread and give it a more uniform texture.
  • Use a good quality raisin: Plump, juicy raisins will add sweetness and flavor to the bread. Avoid using raisins that are dry or hard.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the bread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread at the right temperature: The bread should be baked at a moderate temperature (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for about an hour. This will help it to rise evenly and prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help it to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Carrot raisin bread is a delicious and nutritious quick bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is also a great way to use up leftover carrots. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and crunchy raisins, carrot raisin bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a tasty and healthy treat, give carrot raisin bread a try. You won't be disappointed!
