SWEET POTATO BREAD

T
his is a surprise bread, bright orange with bits of tart cranberries throughout. Some people like to add 18 cup finely chopped pecans along with the cranberries. It is not a sweet bread, so you can serve it with dinner and for sandwiches. You can make the sweet potato puree yourself by putting fresh-baked or leftover baked sweet potatoes through a food mill or a food processor. Or you can use canned, vacuum-packed sweet potatoes. One 9-ounce can drained and mashed will yield

(This recipe is not suitable for use with the Delay Timer.) When the machine beeps, or between Knead 1 and Knead 2, add the cranberries; they will break up some with the action of the blade.

ZUCCHINI BREAD

T
he cylindrical zucchini squash has been grown as a staple vegetable in the Americas since the Aztecs, long before it was known as Italian summer squash. A more delicate cousin of winter squashes like pumpkins, zucchini are really a soft-shelled, immature version. They are available all year round and are a favorite home garden crop, where they can grow to astounding proportions. The shredded raw vegetable makes for a colorful, flavorful dinner bread, adding considerable moisture to the dough. Try this bread for grilled cheese sandwiches.
