Finnish Carrot Rolls are a delicious and wholesome option for breakfast or brunch. They are made from a combination of grated carrots and all-purpose flour, which gives them a light and fluffy texture. The rolls are sweetened with honey and contain only a small amount of butter, making them a healthier option than traditional cinnamon rolls or pastries. The light orange color of the rolls comes from the carrots, which also add a subtle sweetness to the flavor. These rolls are perfect for serving alongside your favorite breakfast foods, such as eggs or yogurt. They can also be enjoyed on their own with a cup of coffee or tea.

Instructions

1.	Heat the milk in a saucepan until it reaches a temperature of about 100°F.
2.	In a mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of flour with the yeast.
3.	Stir in the grated carrots, honey, salt, and softened butter.
4.	Gradually add in the warm milk while stirring to form a dough.
5.	Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes.
6.	Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a towel, and leave it to rest in a warm place for about an hour or until it has doubled in size.
7.	Punch down the dough and shape it into small rolls.
8.	Place the rolls on a greased baking sheet, cover them with a towel, and leave them to rise for another 30 minutes.
9.	Preheat your oven to 375°F.
10.	Bake the rolls for about 20-25 minutes or until they have turned light golden brown.
