Carrot and Rye Flour Bread

- 2 cups (475ml) water, at 98°F (37°C)
- 1 3/4 cups (210g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (115g) rye flour
- 1 finely grated carrot
- 0.88 oz (25g) active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
1. Start by combining 500ml (2 cups) of warm water and 15g (0.5oz or 1 packet) of yeast in a large mixing bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is activated.
2. Add 375g (2.5 cups) of all-purpose flour, 125g (0.8 cup) of rye flour, and 10g (0.4 oz or 2 teaspoons) of salt to the bowl. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Knead the dough for 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
5. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
6. Punch down the dough and shape it into a round loaf.
7. Place the loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, drizzle with 15ml (1 tablespoon) of oil, and sprinkle with 25g (0.9 oz or 1/8 cup) of grated carrot.
8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
9. Let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
