How to make Carrot Bread Squares Recipe "quadrotti alla carota" - Preparation time: 15 minutes – Cooking time: 20 minutes – Rising time: 1 hour 10 minutes

10 Servings

Ingredients:
8 cups (1 kg) soft wheat flour
2 1/8 cups (500 ml) lukewarm water
2 2/3 tbsp. (25 g) fresh yeast, crumbled
10 1/2 oz. (300 g) carrots, coarsely grated
1/3 stick (40 g) butter, softened
1 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. (25 g) salt

Method:
Put the flour onto a clean work surface and make a well in the center. Dissolve the yeast in the water and pour the yeast mixture into the well.

Gradually start incorporating the yeast mixture into the flour until a loose dough starts to form, then add the softened butter and the grated carrots. Lastly, add the salt and continue to knead until the dough is soft, smooth, and elastic.

Cover the dough with a sheet of plastic wrap, let it rest for about 10 minutes, and then cut out little squares, each weighing about 1 3/4 ounces (50 g).

Arrange the squares, floured and well-spaced, on a baking pan lined with parchment paper and let them rise, covered with plastic wrap, for about 1 hour until they have doubled in size. Bake in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 20 minutes.
