Ingredients

  • 1100 g carrots (11 carrots)
  • 500 g flour (Type 1050)
  • 1 packet dry yeast
  • Salt
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 200 g turkey ham (10 slices)
  • 10 tsp tomato paste
  • 300 g low‑fat Gouda (10 slices)
  • 4 tbsp milk (1.5% fat)
  • 3 tbsp sesame

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Wash, trim and peel the carrots. Grate one carrot finely; set aside the others. Mix grated carrot with flour and dry yeast in a mixing bowl.

  2. 2.

    Add 200 ml lukewarm water, 1 tsp salt and the oil, and knead into a smooth yeasted dough using the mixer’s dough hooks. If the dough is too stiff, add a little more water.

  3. 3.

    Continue kneading until it no longer sticks. Dust with flour and cover; let rise at room temperature for about 30 minutes until doubled in volume.

  4. 4.

    Meanwhile bring 200 ml salted water to boil in a wide pot. Add the reserved 10 carrots, cover and cook over medium heat for 10‑12 minutes until al dente. Drain and let rest.

  5. 5.

    Spread 1 tsp tomato paste on each ham slice, top with one cheese slice, place one carrot in the middle, and roll up.

  6. 6.

    Divide dough into 10 equal portions and roll each into a long flat shape. Wrap around prepared carrot rolls, pressing firmly.

  7. 7.

    Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Brush dough rolls with milk, coat all around in sesame, and arrange on the tray. Bake in preheated oven at 200°C (fan:180°C, gas:3) on middle rack for about 15 minutes until golden brown. Serve hot or lukewarm.
