M&M's Ima, thank you for the recipes. I am going to try some tomorrow.

Carmela's Mom,
same here, except that in a muffin or bread they aren't pieces anymore. it just becomes part of the dough.
he'll eat them when he choses.

tomorrow I'll type up the beet bread recipe.

Carmela's Mom - we can't hide them either!  Only in the muffins (grated zucchini kind of disappears).  Dd doesn't eat sauces, so we can't puree them either into pasta sauces or the like.

Russian Vegetable Bread

T dry yeast
1/2c warm water

1 1/2c hot water
3T molasses
3T veg. oil
T salt
3 T chopped fresh dill (i leave this out)
2t caraway seeds (and this - ds will have no part of seeds or nuts)
2c peeled grated raw veg. (beets, potatoes, carrots, parsnips) - i do just beets since i have carrots in the muffins
2c whole wheat flour
3-4c unbleached white flour
2c rye flour
(you can expirement with the flours. i use whatever i have. one i did a mixture of wheat germ, bran, and soy flour instead of the rye. soy will add protein, but don't put too much)


oil two 5x9 pans
proof the yeast in teh warm water
large bowl, combine the hot water with molasses, oil, salt, dill, seeds, and veggies. cool to lukewarm.

add yeast to the bowl, along with whole wheat and 1c of the white flour.
beat 300 strokes (i put it in a mixer)
add rye, and enough of remaining white to make a stiff dough.
turn dough onto a floured surface and knead 10-15 min (again, mine is in the mixer)

place dough in oiled bowl, turn it to coat all sides with oil, cover with a cloth, and allow to rise about 1 1/2 hours. punch down and rise again about 1 hour.
shape into two loaves and place in oiled bread pans. cover, and rise another 45 minutes.
preheated oven, 375F (about 185C), 35-40 minutes.

It's great with butter!

M&M's Ima, Thanks again for the recipes. We made the carrot cake last night for supper. My DD ate it all, but nothing else. 

deenz, thank you also for sharing your recipe.  We haven't tried it yet, but will soon.
