CARROT BREAD
Carrots are a commonplace vegetable, but the root rises to new heights in a sweet
quick bread. Carrots are often seen in paintings by old European masters, which show
carrots in a variety of colors, such as purple and yellow. Sometime in the last two hun-
dred years, an orange variety outgrew all others and became our familiar homey veg-
etable of today. Carrots grow easily and keep for a long time under refrigeration. The
shredded carrots in this beloved quick bread will soften as they bake, adding a definite
sweetness and prettiness to this cake like quick bread that is reminiscent of a steamed
pudding.

the Bake Only cycle for an additional 10 to 15 minutes to finish baking. The bread

brown, and the top is firm to a gentle pressure when touched with your finger. A
toothpick or metal skewer will come out clean when inserted into the center of the
