Finnish Carrot Bread Rolls Recipe

Step 1

Combine warm milk and yeast.  Mix and set aside.

Step 2

Combine all-purpose flour, salt, grated carrots, and honey in a mixer bowl.

Step 3

Use the paddle attachment to mix.

Step 4

Once the yeast mixture is ready, add it into the mixer bowl and use a dough hook to mix.

Step 5

Add butter and mix until the dough becomes smooth. If the dough is too wet, add a tablespoon of flour (or two, one at a time).

Step 6

Form the dough into a ball and place it into an oiled bowl.

Step 7

Cover with a clean kitchen cloth and set aside until the size of the dough has doubled. (It generally takes at least an hour for me.)

Step 8

Once the dough is ready, divide it into 12 equal portions and form each section into a ball.

Step 9

Place each ball of dough on a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Leave enough space in-between.

Step 10

Cover with a clean kitchen cloth and set aside for 30 more minutes, or until each roll has doubled in size.

Step 11

Preheat oven to 200°C (375°F).

Step 12

When the oven is ready, remove the kitchen cloth covering the carrot bread and place the baking pan in the middle of the oven.

Step 13

Take your Finnish carrot bread rolls out of the oven after 20 to 25 minutes or when their top turns golden in color.

Step 14

Set aside to cool slightly, then serve.
