Sourdough Apple Carrot Bread

Think of this as a carrot cake and apple bread that got together and decided sourdough starter should join the party.

Shredded green apples bring a tart, fruity bite while carrots add earthy sweetness and a gorgeous fleck of orange throughout each slice.

Coconut and chopped nuts give you that satisfying crunch, and the sourdough starter keeps everything incredibly moist with just a whisper of tang.

This is a mix-and-pour kind of bread. No kneading, no rise time, no fuss.

Kitchen Tips

• Use a box grater to shred both the apples and carrots on the large holes for the best texture.
• Squeeze excess moisture from the shredded apple with a paper towel so the batter doesn’t get too wet.
• A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean when the bread is done. Start checking around the 50-minute mark.
• Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before turning it out. This keeps it from crumbling apart.
