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.

Ingredients
Steps
-
Prepare the required materials. The coconut filling is not used up last time and should be frozen in the refrigerator. You can take it out and defrost it when needed
-
Mix carrots and water with a blender to make carrot juice
-
Mix carrots, sugar, eggs, and salt
-
Add bread flour and yeast powder
-
Stir with chopsticks until there is no dry powder, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for half an hour
-
Then take it out and knead it for ten minutes until the dough is smooth, add olive oil
-
Continue kneading until the dough reaches the expansion stage
-
After shaping into a round shape, wrap in plastic wrap and ferment at room temperature
-
Let the dough double in size and complete the first batch
-
After the dough is deflated, divide it into two parts, let it rest for ten minutes and then roll each into a rectangular shape
-
Top with cranberry coconut filling
-
First fold it in half from the right side one third of the time, then fold the left side (like folding a quilt)
-
Lay it flat and roll it out into large pieces. Roll it out thinly. Divide it into small portions. Cut each portion in the middle but keep both ends open
-
Thread it from one end to the inside twice and it will be formed
-
Make all the bread dough in sequence
-
Place it into a baking pan and let it rise twice in size. Brush with egg wash. I sprinkled some cornflakes on it
