Grated Carrot and Nut Rolls

Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C in a fan oven), 400°F, gas 6 and line a baking tray with grease-proof paper.

Dissolve the yeast in 125 ml lukewarm water and mix together the flour with the sugar and a pinch of salt. Create a well in the middle and pour in the yeast mixture. Dust with a little flour and leave to rise in a warm place for around 15 min.

Add the butter, eggs, milk, chopped nuts and the carrots and knead into a smooth dough. If the dough is too moist, knead in a little more flour, if it is too dry add a little more lukewarm water. Cover and leave to rise for 1 hour.

Knead the dough well once more and break into 12 equal pieces. Shape in to buns and place next to each other in a circle on the prepared baking tray. Brush with the egg yolk and press one walnut half into each bun.
