Unlike carrot cake which is so popular, this is a carrot “bread.” It’s a very healthy choice and you can make it from start to finish in your bread machine. Of course. you’ll need some carrots and they’ll need to be shredded in a food processor or with a hand-held grater. Most of the carrots are incorporated into the batter with some in reserve as a topping.
This is also a batter or cake bread. This means that either baking soda or baking powder in combination take the place of yeast as a rising element. As a result, this type of bread does not require a rising cycle because the bread rises in the oven or bread machine during the baking cycle. If your machine does not have a cake bread or batter bread setting you can use a setting like a pizza or pasta dough setting to make the batter or the basic dough setting but remove the dough before the rising cycle begins.
To finish in the oven, you can pour the batter into a buttered bread pan and bake for 45 minutes at 425 degrees Fahrenheit. The classic test for doneness is to insert a knife or wooden skewer into the center of the loaf and if the inserted object emerges dry, it’s done. If it emerges wet, continue to bake for another 10 minutes either in the bread machine or the oven.
Add all of the ingredients to the bread pan as indicated in the “ingredients” list and select the cake bread or batter bread setting for a 1-pound loaf, medium crust.
Remove from the bread pan and let rest in the bread pan for 10 minutes and then turn out onto a wire rack or cutting board and slice and serve.
