Ingredients for All Season Bread

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Baking Powder
  • Cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • White Sugar
  • Vegetable Oil
  • Real Vanilla
  • Raw Carrots
  • Raisins
  • Walnuts

How to Make All Season Bread

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, and water.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in your chosen prepared fruit or vegetable and any optional nuts or raisins.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking for doneness around the 50-minute mark.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
