Bread featuring carrots
Technical
Carrot bread is a type of quick bread, and may also be prepared as a yeast-leavened bread, in which carrots are used as a primary ingredient for flavor, moisture, and natural sweetness. It may be prepared with grated, shredded carrots, or carrot juice. Baking times can vary depending on the amount of juice in the carrots used, and it may be a moist bread. The moisture content of carrot bread can vary depending on whether grated carrots, shredded carrots, or carrot juice is used, which influences both texture and baking time. Carrot bread may have an orange color derived from carrot juice or carrots used.
