Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Water
- 1 cup Carrots, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons Butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
Add the water, grated carrots, softened butter, and honey to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Sprinkle the salt over the wet ingredients.
Carefully add the all-purpose flour, making sure to cover the wet ingredients completely.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and nutmeg over the flour.
Make a small well in the center of the flour (without reaching the wet layer) and add the active dry yeast to the well.
Close the bread machine and select the 'Sweet Bread' or 'Basic Bread' cycle on your bread machine. Choose the desired crust color (light or medium recommended).
After the first kneading cycle (check your manufacturer’s instructions for timing), add the raisins and chopped walnuts or pecans. If your bread machine has a fruit and nut dispenser, you can place these ingredients there instead.
Allow the bread machine to complete the cycle, including rising and baking.
When the cycle is finished, carefully remove the bread from the machine and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing.
Serve and enjoy this slightly sweet, spiced bread with butter or cream cheese, or on its own!
