Carrot Buns recipe

Talan celebrated his 2nd birthday last month and in his nursery children can’t bring cakes and sweets but can bring bread instead, which I love. So I found this amazing carrot bread buns recipe that I have to share with you.
These are so so so delicious and truly very simple and quick to make. You can’t go wrong, I promise.

Here is what you need to make about 15 – 20 buns:

50 g fresh yeast
2 cups lukewarm water
180g (2-3 large) carrots
1 tsp salt
250 cottage or ricotta cheese
1 tbsp butter
1 kg (7 cups) wholemeal spelt flour

1. Crumble yeast into about half the lukewarm water
2. Place the rest of the ingredients (don’t forget about the other half of water!) in a large bowl, add the yeast and water mixture and mix and knead until you get a smooth and firm dough. Add a bit more flour if the dough is too sticky.
3. Cover the bowl with a towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour
4. Heat oven to 200°C
5. Now knead just a little bit more and cut into 15-20 pieces.
6. Roll into small balls and flatten a bit.
7. Bake for about 25 min
8. Now just brush those beauties with cold water, wait for a few minutes and enjoy!

Yes, really – this easy!

ps. I’m sorry for the blurry photo of my baby boy but I love this capture of him stealing grated carrots – isn’t he the sweetest? My little veggie lover.
