Juice becomes Softbun – Carrot Hot Cross Buns with Pomace

Freshly squeezed yesterday, deliciously baked today – and completely #zerowaste !

These carrot hot cross buns get a wonderfully moist texture and a delicately spicy flavor from the carrot juice pulp. Served warm, they're simply heavenly—perfect for brunch, afternoon coffee, or just when you want to treat yourself.

Ingredients for approx. 6–9 pieces

• 450 g flour
• 1 sachet of dry yeast
• 40 g cane sugar
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• 1 pinch each of cardamom and clove powder
• 200 ml carrot juice (lukewarm, e.g. pressed with a Kuvings Slow Juicer)
• 60 ml cream
• 1 egg
• 50 g soft butter

For the cross

• 50 ml water
• 80 g flour

How it works

1. Heat carrot juice and cream to lukewarm, stir in sugar, add yeast and let it rise for 10 minutes.
2. Add all remaining ingredients and knead into a smooth dough.
3. Cover the dough and let it rise for 30–90 minutes.
4. Form 6-9 rolls and place them on a baking tray.
5. Mix a paste from water and flour and pipe crosses onto it.
6. Bake at 180°C fan oven for approx. 25 minutes.
7. Spread with some cream while it’s still hot – done!
