Zucchini Yeast Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 Tbsp. active dry yeast
1/2 c. warm water (110~ to 115~)
1/3 c. warm milk (110~ to 115~)
1/3 c. sugar
3 Tbsp. butter or margarine, softened
3 Tbsp. grated orange peel
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. shredded unpeeled zucchini
1/3 c. raisins
1 1/2 c. whole-wheat flour
2 tsp. ground cardamom
1 2/3 to 2 1/3 c. all-purpose flour

Preparation

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Beat in milk, sugar, butter, orange peel and salt; mix well. Add the zucchini, raisins, whole-wheat flour, cardamom and enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 1/4 hours. Punch dough down. Shape into a loaf. Place in greased 9 x 5 x 3 loaf pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 375\u00b0 for 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to cool on a wire rack.
