Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup water
• ⅓ cup honey
• 6 cups bread flour
• ¼ cup chopped green onions
• 1 (.25 ounce) package instant yeast
• 1 cup tomato juice
• ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 carrot, shredded

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a sauce pan, heat the tomato juice and water over a low heat until warm to the touch. Pour into a large warmed bowl, and add yeast and honey; stir to dissolve yeast. Allow to rest until yeast is creamy.

Step 2

Mix in oil, parsley, onion, garlic, carrot, and salt. Add 1 cup of the flour, and stir until smooth. Add more flour, until a firm dough is formed. Knead five minutes on a lightly floured surface. Place dough in a greased bowl, and turn to coat the surface completely. Allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

Step 3

Punch down, and divide into halves. Form two loaves, and put into greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pans. Allow to rise for another 45 minutes, or until loaves have doubled in size.

Step 4

Bake at 400 degrees F (220 degrees C) for about 30 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire rack to cool.
