Carrot Fruit Bread

"This is from the Tassajara Bread Book. Yes, it's all whole wheat flour and honey. It turns out to a sweet, moist, dense cake. I would recommend covering it and letting it sit a day after baking, the flavors are blended and the bread tastes wonderful!"

  1. I had the same problem as Charishma. Next time I'll do the same too- make only one loaf. The idea of letting it sit until the next day is a good one. I subbed the allspice for ginger and that really packed a punch a day later!
     
  2. This makes a wonderful eggless bread. I only found my bread was too small. I had halved the recipe and baked it in a 8 inch round pan in my AMC Dutch Oven for 1 hour. It baked well, but was too small. Next time, I'll use exactly the same qty. of ingredients as is mentioned here to make 1 loaf. I did use black walnuts instead of plain walnuts as I had the former on hand. I did substitute the butter with margarine and nutmeg with cinnamon. Thank You for sharing a somewhat healthy bread recipe.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I was born and raised in Utah. I was a graphic designer for ten years for a local school district. I have since moved on but still enjoy doing that for fun. I love to cook, read, listen to music, craft things. I don't think I really have a favorite cookbook. But if I had to pick it would be one that was written up by women in the area with home recipes. I think those are the best. Probably one of the reasons I enjoy Recipezaar so much.
