You can baked this bread using all purpose flour if you happen to run short of bread flour. This bread turns out well like my previous baking of pumpkin buns [recipe here]. The bread texture is good - soft and moist even though I baked it as a loaf bread.
Ingredients
[bake in loaf pan size 21cm x 9cm x 7cm]
300 gm plain flour
1 tbsp skimmed milk powder
1/2 tsp salt
30 gm sugar [1 used 2 level tbsp]
1 small egg
150 gm grated carrot - squeezed out juice and add water to get 150 ml carrot juice
2 tsp yeast
1 tbsp butter
- Knead all dough ingredients [except butter and water] on slow speed to combine. Gradually add in carrot juice/water [may not use all] and continue kneading until dough is soft and smooth [about 7-10 minutes].
- Add in butter and continue kneading on low speed from the start then turn to medium speed when butter and dough has combined. Knead for about 5-7 minutes to get to window pane stage.
- Form dough into a ball. Place in a bowl covered to rest for 15 minutes or until double in size. [Can prepare dough up to this stage - place dough in an airtight container or tied up plastic bag and keep in the refrigerator for 1 day before use. Safe time and bread can be ready in a shorter time whenever you feel like having freshly baked bread for breakfast. Thaw dough to room temperature before use].
- Punch down rested dough. Divide into 4 pieces of equal weight. Round up into a ball. Roll each piece into a small rectangle, fold into thirds, then again roll flat into a rectangle. Roll up tightly into a swiss roll. Place on baking tin. Finish doing the same for the other 3 pieces.
- Leave dough in oven to proof until double in size [about 1 hour].
- Remove from oven to preheat oven to 180 degrees C for 10 minutes.
- Then bake loaf bread in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove and cool on wire rack.
Note:
This dough can be used to bake buns too.

I just love the orange tint that the carrot adds...and the loaf looks so soft. I really like this method of forming the loaf, as well (the 4 sections). Beautiful loaf!
The loaves are so pretty. The look soft and tasty. Thank you for sharing this with BYOB.
Hi Heather & Michelle, the bread stays soft even on the third day. We toasted a few slices which go well with butter spread and jam. Another good point is I used unbleached all purpose flour to bake this bread instead of bread flour.
