Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 3 hours 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 4 hours 5 minutes

easy and quick, about 4 rolls

Makes 4 rolls. Grate the carrots finely using the coarse side of a grater, with or without the skin, whichever you prefer. Measure the flour and place it in a large bowl where all the ingredients can be mixed together. Add the salt, yeast, chia seeds (optional), and grated carrots to the flour and mix everything well. Gradually add the water and stir the dough in the bowl first, then mix with your hands. If you don’t like sticky, doughy hands, you can mix the mixture with a spoon. When the dough is no longer too sticky, knead it thoroughly with your hands on a floured work surface. Tip: Yeast dough needs to be handled with your hands; the more and longer you knead it with your hands(!), the better it will be. I kneaded for about 2 minutes, so you don’t have to overdo it to get a delicious result. Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 3 hours, until it has roughly doubled in size. (If you need it faster, use up to double the amount of dry yeast, but you should give it 30 minutes.) Now divide the dough into about 4 equal-sized rolls or form one loaf; don’t knead it again. If you like, you can add any topping you like. I found oatmeal to be great! Place the rolls on a baking sheet, cover again, and let them rest while the oven preheats to 250°C (480°F). Place the rolls in the oven and pour a little water onto the oven floor, then quickly close the door. After about 10 minutes, reduce the temperature to 200°C (400°F) and briefly open the door to let the steam out. After another 15 minutes, the rolls are done! One loaf takes a little longer; bake for about another 10 minutes. If you tap the bottom of the bread/roll, it should sound hollow. Let the rolls cool briefly and enjoy with salted butter. Good luck!
