Yeasted ginger carrot bread

(adapted from http://waywardspark.com/yeasted-carrot-ginger-bread/)


  • 1.5 c. tea, cooled to lukewarm
  • 2 c. finely chopped or grated carrot (food processor is helpful)
  • 1 TBS finely minced ginger (I use a garlic twist to mince it)
  • 1/2 c. warm water
  • 1 TBS yeast
  • 3 TBS honey
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1.5 c. rye flour
  • 4-4.5 c. white flour
Dissolve yeast in warm water, following package directions.  Stir in all other ingredients except flour.  Gradually stir in flour.  Knead for 10 min.

Let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

Form into 2 loaves.  Place each in a greased loaf pan.  Let rise until doubled, about 40 min.

Bake at 350 for 40-45 min.
