Multigrain carrot rolls are very different from the regular rolls. Rolls like this can be made as everyday bread too. This has the nourishment from whole grains like whole wheat, oats, sorghum, and barnyard millet. In addition to the grains these rolls are fortified with almond flour, coconut flour, milk powder, and flax seed powder. Together with the carrots all of the above make these rolls a unique and tasty one.
These rolls are a little dense owing to the presence of other grains than all-purpose flour. Hey, it is perfectly fine for me as the nutrition profile is excellent than the regular rolls. I used my bread machine for making the dough and for first proving. The same can be done manually too. Instead of using water, I have used fresh carrot juice. So, if you are making the dough manually, use the carrot juice to activate the yeast. The juice imparts a lovely, beautiful orange color to the bread. These rolls are perfect with butter or cream cheese for breakfast. They go well with salads and soups too. I love these for pav bhaji or masala pav too. The following recipe has some all-purpose flour. I have tried this with 100% whole wheat too. They came out well but were a little denser than this recipe. It tastes great though.
The theme for this month is "Whole Grain Breads". Wendy of A Day in the Life on a Farm is hosting this month's event in our #BreadBakers group. #BreadBakers is a group of bread-loving bakers who get together once a month to bake bread with a common ingredient or theme. You can see all our lovely bread by following our Pinterest board right here. Links are also updated after each event on the #BreadBakers home page. We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient.
