Bread can come in very many varieties, shapes and sizes. Bread is usually made from a dough of flour or meal mixed with water or milk, usually raised with a yeast or baking powder together with other added ingredients to introduce different characteristics. In this recipe we have an unusual bread made with grated parsnips. The dough is molded into two loaf tins and baked. Cool completely before serving, cut into thick slices and spread with butter for that supper time treat!

Makes a 900g (2 lb) Loaf

Ingredients:

285g (10 oz) plain flour 
225g (8 oz) caster sugar
225g (8 oz) butter, melted and cooled
225g (8 oz) parsnips, grated
3 eggs at room-temperature
2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda 
1 teaspoon ground mixed spice 
2 teaspoons vanilla essence
1 teaspoon ground ginger 
pinch of salt

Method:

Preheat the oven to 17o°C, 325°F, gas mark 3.

Grease a 900g (2lb) loaf tin and line the base with a piece of baking parchment.

Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt, mixed spice and ginger together into a large mixing bowl then mix in the sugar.

Whisk the eggs lightly with the butter and vanilla essence.

Make a well in the dry ingredients, add the egg and butter mixture and mix in carefully.

Beat well, then stir in the grated parsnips. Mix thoroughly. Turn into the prepared tin.

Bake in the top of the oven for 1½ to 2 hours, or until the top springs back when pressed
lightly with a fingertip.

Remove the loaf from the oven and allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then turn out on to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
