I've been thinking about making a carrot bread recently.

I can't quite explain the fascination behind it, but I like the idea it's healthy and natural :)

As I was lazy to bring out my extractor, I got the carrot juice from a fruit juice stall near my home. I didn't use up all the juice, and the remaining juice was shared between myself and my husband. I didn't know carrot juice, without ice, can taste so good!

However, things in the kitchen didn't turn out quite well for me.

I was a bit worried when I notice how sticky the dough is, even after 20 mins of mixing on the machine. Did this happen because I didn't follow the recipe? The recipe called for 100ml water and 50ml of carrot juice, but I changed it to 150ml of carrot juice.

At the end of 30 mins on the machine, it was still very sticky. I decided to stop the machine and let the dough go for its first proof. Deep in my heart, I was hoping the dough would be less sticky after it has doubled it's volume.

My hopes were shattered when I turned the dough out onto the floured table.. Haiz... it's still sticky! I had wanted to make a square loaf, but given it's texture, I changed to using a round tin. Anyway, this is a shape I've never done before for bread... decided to give it a try bah. This is how it looks like.
