Directions
- 1
Peel and chop the carrots. Blend them together with the oil until you get a completely smooth, creamy mixture.
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, sugar, and warm water. Add the carrot-oil blend and stir until fully combined.
- 3
Dissolve the yeast in a small amount of warm water, then pour it into the liquid mixture and mix well.
- 4
Gradually add the flour, mixing as you go, until a soft and non-sticky dough forms. Knead for about 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 5
Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- 6
Punch down the dough on a lightly floured surface, shape it into a loaf, and place it in a lightly oiled baking pan. Allow to rise again for 2 hours.
- 7
Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Bake for 40 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
💡 Chef's Tip
Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or a pinch of turmeric to the dough for extra warmth and color. Store the bread wrapped in a clean cloth at room temperature for up to 3 days.
