Colorful Veggie Bread

1In a small bowl, dissolve sugar (2 tablespoons) in warm water (¼ cup). Sprinkle yeast over the water and let it stand for 10 minutes until frothy.

2In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated beetroot (1 cup), grated carrot (1 cup), diced tomato (1 cup), chopped onion (½ cup), all-purpose flour (3 cups), and salt.

3Add the yeast mixture and olive oil (2 tablespoons) to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic.

4Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

5Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in a greased bread pan.

6Let the dough rise for another 30 minutes. Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.

7Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

8Slice and serve the colorful veggie bread with your favorite spreads or enjoy it plain.
