Carrot rolls have been my favourite ever since my childhood. My
mother often made them, and they were just the best thing when warm
and fresh. I also make these rolls quite often, especially as I need
some evening snacks twice a week to make it through my language
class, where I go straight from work and skip dinner on those days.
Then these rolls and all sorts of vegetable broths are life-savers.
This recipe is just one variation of the rolls. I normally just make
them with the fingertip feel, without measuring the ingredients. I
used both orange and purple carrots here in order to get a more
vibrant colour. You can also add oat flakes and all sorts of seeds to
this recipe, whatever you happen to have in the cupboard.
