In this recipe, six wholesome mini loaves are baked side by side in two loaf pans and served with a tangy apricot spread.
BREAD
4 1/2 cups (4 1/2 to 5 1/2) all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups finely shredded carrots
1 teaspoon salt
1 package active dry yeast
3/4 cup apricot nectar
1/2 cup low-fat plain yogurt
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup margarine or butter
1 egg
Margarine or butter, softened
SPREAD
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup apricot preserves
In large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, carrots, salt and yeast; blend well. In small saucepan, heat apricot nectar, yogurt, honey and 1/4 cup margarine until very warm (120 to 130°F.). Add warm liquid and egg to flour mixture. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand, stir in an additional 2 to 2 1/2 cups flour to form a stiff dough.
On floured surface, knead in remaining 1/2 to 1 cup flour until dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place dough in greased bowl; cover loosely with plastic wrap and cloth towel. Let rise in warm place (80 to 85°F.) until light and doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Grease and flour two 9 x 5- or 8 x 4-inch loaf pans. Punch down dough several times to remove all air bubbles. Divide dough in half. Work dough with hands to remove large air bubbles. Divide each half into thirds. Shape each third into a small loaf. Spread sides of loaves with softened margarine. Place 3 loaves crosswise in each greased and floured pan. Cover; let rise in warm place until light and doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
Heat oven to 375°F. Uncover dough. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until loaves are deep golden brown and sound hollow when lightly tapped. Immediately remove from pans; cool on wire racks. Brush warm loaves with softened margarine. In small bowl, combine spread ingredients; blend well. Serve with bread.
