Ingredients
•
1 cup tomato juice
•
1 cup water
•
1 (1/4 ounce) package instant yeast
•
1/4 cup vegetable oil
•
1/3 cup honey
•
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
•
1/4 cup chopped green onions
•
2 cloves garlic
•
1 carrot, shredded

6 cups bread flour
Directions
1
Gather the ingredients.
2
Heat tomato juice and water in a saucepan over low heat until warm to the touch; pour into a large warmed bowl. Add yeast and honey; stir to dissolve yeast. Allow to rest until yeast is creamy, about 10 minutes.
3
Mix in oil, parsley, onion, garlic, carrot, and salt. Add 1 cup of the flour, and stir until smooth. Add more flour, until a firm dough is formed. Knead five minutes on a lightly floured surface.
4
Place dough in a greased bowl, and turn to coat the surface completely. Allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans.
5
Punch down dough and turn out onto a lightly floured surface; divide dough in half. Form two loaves and place in prepared loaf pans. Allow to rise until loaves have doubled in size, another 45 minutes.
6
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (220 degrees C). Bakes loaves in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove loaves from pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
