Cabbage Patch Bread

"I make my own bread, but I could never get my children to eat any of the whole-grain breads I considered more nutritious...until I came across this one," writes Jeanne Bennett of Minden, Louisiana. "The name caught their attention, but the taste got their approval!"

20 ServingsPrep: 25 min. + rising Bake: 25 min.

Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/3 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1 can (5 ounces) evaporated milk
1/4 cup canola oil
1 egg
3/4 cup coarsely chopped cabbage
1 medium carrot, cut into chunks
1/4 cup sliced celery
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley or 4 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups whole wheat flour
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a blender, combine
the milk, oil, egg, cabbage, carrot, celery, parsley, honey and
salt; cover and process until smooth. Add to yeast mixture. Stir in
whole wheat flour and enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about
6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours.

Directions (continued)

Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in
half. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Shape into round loves.
Place on two greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until
doubled, about 1 hour.
Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cover
loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes if top browns too
quickly. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Yield: 2 loaves (10
slices each).
