These rolls have a nice flavor...folks usually don't guess that carrots are one of the ingredients. My family really likes them; see if yours will, too!
Ingredients
-
4 cups sliced carrots
-
2 eggs, beaten
-
1 cup warm water (110° to 115°), divided
-
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
-
3/4 cup vegetable oil
-
1/2 cup sugar
-
1 tablespoon molasses
-
2 teaspoons salt
-
8-1/2 to 9 cups all-purpose flour
Directions
-
1.
Place carrots in a saucepan and cover with water; cook until tender. Drain and cool slightly. Place in a blender or food processor. Add eggs and 1/2 cup water; puree until smooth.
-
2.
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in remaining water. Add carrot mixture. Stir in oil, sugar, molasses, salt and 5 cups flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.

3.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

4.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into 48 balls. Place 2-in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until almost doubled, about 1 hour.
