Looking for a quick and easy bread recipe? You’ve come to the right place! You may think preparing your own bread is tedious and time-consuming. Well, it can be, but it doesn’t have to be. These buns you can prepare in 30 minutes (including the baking), and then enjoy the smell and taste of fresh, oven-baked bread!
Carrot Oat Bread Rolls • 9 rolls
Ingredients:
1 cup (= 2.5 dl) oats
1 cup (= 2.5 dl) all-purpose flour
1 cup (= 2.5 dl) grated carrot (1 small to average size carrot)
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
¾ cups (= 1.75 dl) water
Method:
Preheat your oven to 200 °C (=390 °F). Grate your carrot into a bowl. Add all the dry ingredients and mix well. Slowly add the water while mixing the dough. The dough should be quite thick and sticky (check the photo below). Use a wet spoon and your fingers to form 9 equal sized bread rolls onto a baking tray. Decorate with some oats if you wish. Bake at 200 °C (=390 °F) for 15 minutes.
Serve with (vegan) butter while they’re still warm! 😋
Today, I felt like doing something extra, rather than just giving you a recipe. Therefore I counted some nutritional values.
Here’s what only one bread roll will give you:
• 1.9 g fiber (2.7 g if you use whole wheat flour instead of "regular") (8/11 % of your minimal daily need)
• 95 µg RAE vitamin A (10 % of your daily need if you’re a male, 14 % if you’re a female)
• 7.3 µg selenium (15 % of your daily need if you’re a male, 18 % if you’re a female)
Health benefits:
• Fiber: This food component will make you feel satiated longer, supports the functions of your bowel, relieves constipation and lowers your cholesterol levels. More about fiber here!
• Vitamin A: Vital for vision! Lack of vitamin A will first result in night blindness and eventually, make you lose your sight once and for all. Vitamin A also boosts your immune system and keeps your skin in nice condition.
• Selenium: This mineral is an antioxidant, it protects your cells, and the functions of the thyroid gland, immune system, and keeps your hair and skin normally beautiful.
