Garden Patch Bread
Garden Patch Bread is outstanding. This tasty homemade bread uses ingredients that your own veggie patch if you have a garden. It's also so simple and easy to make since you toss all the ingredients into the breadmaker. Terrific as a side for soups or any main dish entree. We also enjoy it for breakfast. This recipe is vegan.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup hot water
- 2/3 cup carrots or matchsticks carrots, coarsely shredded

- 4 cups bread flour
- 1 1/2 tsp. sugar or honey
- 1 tsp. sea salt or kosher salt
- 1 tbsp. basil
- 1 tsp. yeast
Instructions
- Layer ingredients in bread canister in order given.
- Select the basic white bread cycle on your bread machine.
- Mine took 3 hours 50 minutes.

Notes
NOTE: This recipe is for a 2-lb. loaf.
NOTE: Homemade bread has no preservatives so it must be stored in the refrigerator after 2 days.
NOTE: all-purpose flour does not contain the necessary gluten to bond the ingredients together as well as bread flour. The bread may turn out crumbly. For best results use bread flour.
NOTE: I recommend using Fleischmann's yeast or bread machine yeast in any yeast bread recipe. Red Star yeast just doesn't work as well.
