Ingredients:

  • 2 packages (1/4 oz each) active dry yeast
  • 1-3/4 cups warm water (110o to 115o)
  • 4-1/2 tsp cardamom pods (about 40)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp water

Directions:

  1. Place 1 in. of water in a small saucepan; add carrots. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 6-8 minutes or until tender. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup water. Transfer carrots and reserved water to a small food processor; cover and process until smooth.
  2. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Remove seeds from cardamom pods; coarsely crush seeds. Add the seeds, sugar, oil, salt, pureed carrots and 2-1/2 cups flour to yeast mixture. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough (dough will be sticky).
  3. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  4. Punch dough down; turn onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into thirds; shape each into a 25-inch rope. Place ropes on a greased baking sheet and braid; pinch ends together, forming a round loaf. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  5. Beat egg white and water; brush over loaf. Sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake at 350° for 25-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack. Yield: 1 loaf (18 slices).
