Categories     Bread

Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups grated zucchini ((about 2 medium zucchini))
1 1/2 Tbsp salt (, divided)
2 1/2 tsps active dry yeast
1 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 cup warm water ((110 degrees F))
2 Tbsp melted butter
2 cups grated carrot ((about 3 large carrots))
1/4 cup chopped olives ((plus more for serving, if you'd like))
3 1/2 - 4 1/2 cups bread flour (*)
1 Tbsp dried oregano
1 tsp smoked paprika
Olive oil (, for greasing the bowl)

Steps:

  • Place the zucchini in a colander and toss with 1 Tbsp of salt. Set aside for 5 to 10 minutes to let the salt draw out the moisture. Once it has sat, squeeze the zucchini to drain out as much excess liquid as possible. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add the yeast, sugar, and warm water and let set for 10 minutes or until the yeast foamed up around all of the surface area of the water.
  • Turn mixer onto medium-low and add in melted butter, zucchini, carrots, olives, bread flour, oregano, 1/2 Tbsp salt, and paprika. If the dough is too sticky to form a ball, add more flour, 1 Tbsp at a time.
  • Switch to the dough attachment and knead on medium speed for 5 minutes.
  • Grease a bowl with olive oil and transfer dough to the bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide the dough into equal halves and shape two round loaves onto the baking sheet, making sure to leave enough room for the bread to at least double in size (you may have to use two baking sheets depending on the size of your sheets).
  • Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for another 30 minutes or until doubled again.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the tops have browned, rotating the baking sheet halfway through.
  • Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool.
  • Slice and serve with butter or plain yogurt and olives.

This 2008 Cooking Light Ultimate Reader Recipe Contest winner quickly became one of my baking main-stays. Often I'll double the batch and freeze the extra loaf. I've adapted Jennifer Dunklee's original recipe by adding whole wheat flour, nutmeg and cloves while decreasing cinnamon and maintaining apple skin. You can find the original thanks to internetnut; just search Food.com for "Garden Harvest Cake".

Yield 8 slices, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup apple, grated (about 1 small Granny Smith)
1/2 cup carrot, grated (about 1 small)
1/2 cup zucchini, shredded (about 1/2 small)
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped and toasted
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup fat-free buttermilk

  • Combine flours and next five ingredients (through salt) in a large bowl until dry ingredients are well blended.

Taken from January 2006 Bon Appetit's RSVP section. Rich and delicious. I think I would try to cut down on the oil somewhat by substituting applesauce for about half the oil.
