Carrot and Coconut Bread

Carrot and Coconut Bread

Overview

My son doesn’t like carrots. He usually picks them out when adding them to soup or scrambled eggs, but there’s nothing he won’t eat without bread, so this time I pureed the carrots and kneaded them into dough to make bread. Not only was the color golden and beautiful, but the nutrients were not lost. He ate one as soon as he put down his school bag after school. The entire dough is made of carrot juice and eggs. It is healthier to replace butter with olive oil. It is also filled with coconut filling that was not used up last time when making bread. It tastes sweet and soft. It is shaped like a fork and you can bite the filling in every bite. It is very delicious.
