A carrot bread for Twelve Loaves

– Toc toc I’m Mr. October.
– Nice to meet you Mr. October. Welcome to my blog.
– Thanks to you. I’m curious to know what’s going on with Twelve Loaves.
– I can help you. Twelve Loaves is looking for Root Breads.
– Roots Breads? Interesting. What’s your proposal?
My proposal is a carrot bread. Carrots are roots, orange and healthy ones. To make them I just adapt the potato bread recipe of January. It’s a very easy  bread to do and as far as concern my tastes carrot bread is excellent. To be sincere, I’ve already tried to do a carrot bread with also carrot leaves. That time I surprised my husband. In a way I copied myself. In this way, I provide my reader with two recipes.

Here you can find a soft carrot bread without any added spices and with natural yeast. In my other blog you can find a a carrot bread with carrot leaves, paprika and active dry yeast. You have no excuses to not try it.

Before to leave you with my carrots :), I leave you alone for few minutes with other Twelve Loaves Root Bread proposals:

Sorry for that delay. Now it’s finally ready my carrot bread:

Carrot bread

pane carote tagliato rdb

170 gr flour type 0
80 gr farro flour
115 gr mashed carrots
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
130 gr water (used to boiled carrots)
170  gr sourdough/ natural yeast
1 teaspoon salt

In a large bowl stir the flours, mashed carrots, extra virgin olive oil and honey together.
Add water (at room temperature) and natural yeast. I use solid natural yeast which I actived few hours before.
Mix all ingredients with your hands first in the bowl and then on your kitchen table.
When you obtain an almost homogenous dough add salt.
Continue to knead for 5-8 minutes.

Put your dough into a bowl.
Cover it with a slightly damp canvas.
Leave rising for one hours before to make the first folds.
After the folding phase, put again the dough into the bowl and cover it.
Leave rising for at least 8-10 hours.

Give to the dough the shape of a loaf.
Place the loaf on the baking tray, already covered with parchment paper.

Let it rise for another hour.

Preheated the oven to 250 ° C.
Brush the dough with water.
Bake in hot oven at 250° C for 10 minutes and at 220°C for other 2o minutes.

This bread appears also in Yeastspotting collection in Wild Yeast.
