directions

  • In a measuring cup, dissolve 1 tsp.
  • sugar in warm water.
  • Sprinkle yeast over and let stand for 8 to 10 minutes, until foamy.
  • Stir to dissolve.
  • Grater: Grate vegetables, using medium pressure.
  • Transfer to measuring cup.
  • You need about 1 1/2 cups of vegetables.
  • Steel Blade: Place flour, oil, salt, remaining 1 tsp.
  • sugar, thyme and basil in processor.
  • Process 10 seconds, until combined.
  • Add dissolved yeast mixture through feed tube while machine is running.
  • Process until dough gathers together into a mass around the blades.
  • Let machine knead dough about 45 seconds longer.
  • If machine slows down because dough is too sticky, add a few tablespoons of flour through feed tube; if dough is too dry, add a few tablespoons of water.
  • Turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
  • Knead by hand for 1 to 2 minutes, until smooth and elastic, adding just enough flour to prevent dough from sticking to your hands.
  • Place dough in large greased bowl, turning to grease all surfaces.
  • Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Punch down.
  • If you have time, let rise a second time; punch down once again.
  • To shape: On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into 9 x 12-inch rectangle.
  • Roll up like a jelly-roll from the shorter side.
  • Seal ends by pressing down with edge of your hand.
  • Place seam-side down in sprayed 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.
  • Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Bake in a preheated 425 F oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Bread should sound hollow when tapped with your fingertips.
  • Remove from pan and let cool.

  1. As with all of Donna's bread recipe this one is first rate in both looks, flavor and ease of making. The directions are so clear and thanks to your warning on not adding water to the dry looking first dough it came out perfect. As you stated as I needed it became more and more wet, even a little sticky. I didn't use the bread machine, instead made in my kitchen aid and mixed for about 5 minutes to incorporate some of the kneading. Then let rise before placing in a bread pan for a 2nd rise and then baking. This is one of those recipes that's on my repeat list.
     
  2. Update: I made a double batch of this bread recently, and want to add to my comments. I did follow the recipe as to amounts of vegetables. I used red onion, red bell pepper and carrot this time. As I now have a food processor, I used it to grate the vegetables, even adding part of the water to make sure they would be grated fine. I made the bread, itself, by hand. It is outstanding. The picture doesn't show it well enough, and of course, can't show how it smells or tastes. The basil and thyme combined with the vegetables make for a truly delicious bread, which I highly recommend. In my previous review, of April 22, 2004, I stated that I used green onion, red bell pepper and carrot. I used more vegetables than the recipe calls for, so increased the amounts of flour and salt, and got delicious bread. This is a very flexible and enjoyable recipe.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes: ? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again. ? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time. ? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK ? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all ? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
