honey

🥗Healthier: maple syrup

sourdough starter

🥗Healthier: store-bought sourdough

💰Cheaper: yeast

Store-bought sourdough can save time, while yeast is more accessible.

Combine rye flour, whole wheat flour, and salt in a large bowl.

Mix in the sourdough starter and water until a shaggy dough forms.

Add grated carrots and chopped walnuts to the dough and mix until evenly distributed.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).

Shape the risen dough into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan.

Cover the loaf and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.

Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing.
