Carrot-and-cheese bread
Makes 1 loaf Preparation time 15 minutes Baking time 50 minutes
Don’t worry, this bread doesn’t taste like carrot cake – it’s not sweet at all! Serve hot or toasted with lots of butter.
You need
• 500 ml brown bread flour • 10 ml baking powder • 100 g cheese, grated (mature gouda or cheddar) • 7,5 ml cumin seeds • 2,5 ml salt • 2 large carrots, peeled and grated • 1 small onion, finely chopped • 3 extra-large eggs • 150 ml olive oil
Here’s how
1 Preheat the oven to 180° C. 2 Line a standard 20 cm loaf pan with baking paper. 3 Mix the flour, baking powder, twothirds of the cheese, the cumin and the salt together in a big bowl. 4 Mix the rest of the ingredients in a separate bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry mix and combine. Transfer the dough to the loaf pan and sprinkle over the rest of the cheese. 5 Bake for 50 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean. Let the loaf to cool down in the pan for 10 minutes before you unmould it and transfer it to a cooling rack.
