lg LOAF; (11/2#):
2 teaspoon Dry yeast
3 cup Bread flour
1/3 cup Yellow cornmeal
Three fourths cup Grated carrots
1 One half teaspoon Ground cumin
One fourth teaspoon Ground cayenne
Three fourths teaspoon Salt
1 cup Water
Three fourths cup Currants; raisins or prunes

(This is a little sweet & a little hot. It works well for sandwiches or
with a meal.)

I added 3 teaspoons of vital wheat gluten and, when dough seems dry, one
chopped apple with skin. (When humidity changes, so does the flour's need
for more or less moisture. I find the "same" recipe requires varying
moisture on different days.)

Add ingredients according to the order suggested by bread machine. Use
basic bread cycle. Adjust moisture or flour or corn meal as needed.

Add fruit at the beeper or at the end of the first kneading in machines
without a beeper to signal addition of fruit or nuts.

From The Best LowFat, NoSugar Bread Machine Cookbook Ever by Madge
Rosenberg. Enjoy! [I have both a Kitchen Aid (K5A) mixer and a older model
Dak II bread machine. I don't use the K5A for months but the bread machine
works great, minimal muss & fuss.]
