Carrot Buns
June 14th, 2008 by chuck
Firstly, I would like to say that we think we have fixed the hacker problem and thank everyone for their support. Now, lets get back to baking!
Sometimes, I wonder, who was the first person to start placing vegetables into baked goods? I ‘m sure it had to be someones mother, trying to get their kids to eat more vegetables. Whoever that clever mom was, she should get a medal.
I love the color and texture that carrots and other vegetables give to baked breads. Growing up you could never get me to eat carrot bread or zucchini bread. If my mom made carrot bread or cake she would have to lie to us because, if we ever caught wind that there were vegetables in the bread, we would never eat it.
These little carrot buns are stunning with the shredded carrots sprinkled throughout the interior, as well, they create a real chewy texture. You can taste the whole grains and the smoky flavor of the malt with every bite. The carrot buns would make a wonderful accompaniment to a piping hot bowl of soup or a chunky beef stew.

Chuck-
Please don’t tell me you still had a hacker, I’m sorry.
On another note these look awesome. Veggies in dessert, great minds think alike today!
They might even make good bread bowls for a stew.
Yay, I get to be the first to comment on this wonderful recipe! I love the idea of using carrots in a bread. Actually, any vegetable in a bread. AS a mom who struggles to have my daughter develop a taste and love for veggies, I always welcome recipes like this:) She won’t know what’s inside:) What a great recipe. Another masterpiece of yours. I have so many printouts from your blog. As soon as I am done with my cookbook, I am so baking your breads!
They look gorgeous! I love that kind of bread! have you tried making them with grated onions and zucchinis?
Cheers,
Rosa
Opps, I wasn’t the first:)))))
carrot cake rules, so why wouldn’t carrot bread be delicious as well? awesome idea and beautiful bread!
Glad to hear you are fixed, I tried leaving some comments recently and couldn’t manage it.
Anyway, fabulous bread - great idea to serve with soup!
You have been nominated for an award… Please visit my blog for more info!

Nice Buns Chuck!
Oh, and I love your new Food Gawker ID too!
What a great idea for bread!
While it was not a part of my growing up, as an adult, I have been reluctant to eat carrot bread or zucchini bread but now looking at your carrot buns, I want to give them a try

These would be great oozing with maple butter.
Is preparing a soaker a relatively new method? I don’t remember my grandmother using it w/ her grainy breads, but perhaps I wasn’t observing closely enough. Thx.
Yum, this bread looks delicious! I love veggies in bread!
Ooh, these look so healthy in an inconspicuous way. Love it.
Chuck, thanks for stopping by. I’m glad I did because now I’m saving a recipe from your site! This bread looks absolutely great…and I get some vitamins to boot
