FINNISH CARROT ROLLS
Made-from-scratch dinner rolls. We had a Finnish exchange student a few years ago, who shared her family recipe for holiday dinner rolls. We love them fresh out of the oven with a little honey or butter on them.

Steps:
- Heat milk in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave until warmed, about 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup flour and yeast to warm milk. Let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
- Stir carrots, honey, and salt into yeast mixture. Mix flour, about 1/2 cup at a time, into carrot mixture, mixing thoroughly after each addition until a smooth dough forms. Mix butter into dough until thoroughly integrated using your hands. Cover bowl with a damp, clean towel.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place bowl with dough on top of oven while it preheats until dough has doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
- Form dough into rolls and arrange on a baking sheet; loosely cover dough with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let rise, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Bake in the preheated oven until rolls are lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes.

CARROT ROLLS
Here's a very traditional Finnish bread recipe. Typically this would be made into rolls, but no reason you couldn't make it into a loaf too. It has a great orange-yellow colour and a mild carrot flavour. It's from my trusty baking book Suuri Leivontakirja - Kotilieden parhaat leivonnaiset.

Steps:
- Mix flour, water or milk, carrots, salt and yeast thoroughly. First mix yeast with sugar and little of the warm water and wait until it's frothy. Then what I do is put all the flour on the work surface and mix it with other dry incredients - then making a well in the centre of the heap where all the liquid goes.
- Kneading for gluten. By hand, or course - and I find that using a work surface instead of a bowl works better for me. At first it may be difficult to figure out what the dough should feel like, so use your watch - this should take 7 to 8 minutes. At this time it's also important to observe the dough to make sure you're not putting too much (or too little) flour in it - it's quite normal that you need more or less than in the recipe. Dough is good to go when you can spread little out between your hands and it streches to a very thin skin without breaking (also called "window test"). The dough should be a little sticky at all times, as well as smooth and elastic.
- Leave the dough to rise. Put in into an oiled bowl and cover with a cloth - if you put it into a warm place it will rise more quickly, but you can put it into the fridge too (only it will take days then). This can actually be quite useful too - you can put your dough into the fridge, then go out and take it only out when you're ready to bake it. The dough has risen enough when it's doubled in size.
- Knocking the dough out again. This is done so that the bubbles that have formed are broken and can be distributed evenly. At this point you want to shape your dough - loafs or rolls, whatever you want.
- Second rising. Again, leave for about half an hour in a warm place - this is also one of those things you need to practice with. Remember that bread doesn't rise in the oven anymore like cakes that use baking powder - so you need to let them rise enough to get nice and puffy bread.
- Bake in 225 C for 10 - 15 minutes as a guideline but as always nothing beats experience. Generally bread is cooked when you tap the bottom of it with your finger and it sounds hollow - this can be difficult to judge in the beginning though, so use the recipe's guidelines and learn to judge what a good bread sounds like.
- Cooling. Warm bread is delicious, but hot bread is disgusting - it's not set yet properly. So put it on a cooling rack for 10-20 minutes and be patient!

Tips:
- Prepare the ingredients in advance: Before starting to make the carrot rolls, make sure you have all the ingredients measured and ready to use. This will help ensure that the process goes smoothly and quickly.
- Use fresh, high-quality carrots: The carrots are the main ingredient in these rolls, so it's important to use fresh, high-quality ones. Look for carrots that are firm and brightly colored.
- Grate the carrots finely: The finer the carrots are grated, the better they will blend into the dough. Use a food processor or a box grater with the smallest holes to grate the carrots.
- Don't overwork the dough: The dough for carrot rolls should be soft and pliable, but not too sticky. If you overwork the dough, it will become tough.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough for carrot rolls needs to rise in a warm place in order to double in size. This will take about an hour.
- Roll the dough out evenly: When you are rolling out the dough, make sure to do it evenly so that the carrot rolls are all the same size.
- Fill the rolls generously: When you are filling the carrot rolls, don't be afraid to be generous with the filling. This will make the rolls more flavorful.
- Bake the rolls until they are golden brown: The carrot rolls should be baked until they are golden brown on top. This will take about 20 minutes.
Conclusion:
Carrot rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With a little planning and effort, you can make delicious carrot rolls that will be a hit with your family and friends.
