Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Carrot (shredded)
• 1 cup Zucchini (shredded)
• 0.5 cup Red bell pepper (finely diced)
• 0.5 cup Green onions (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until the dough comes together.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for 60-90 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a large, round baking dish or oven-safe skillet.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, combine the shredded carrot, zucchini, red bell pepper, green onions, parsley, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Mix well to distribute the vegetables evenly.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 16-18 equal pieces.

Step 8

Flatten each piece of dough slightly, place about 1 to 2 teaspoons of the vegetable mixture in the center, and pinch the edges to seal. Roll into a smooth ball.

Step 9

Place the dough balls seam-side down in the prepared baking dish, arranging them close together in a circular pattern.

Step 10

Brush the tops of the dough balls with melted butter, then sprinkle with any remaining vegetable mixture or additional Parmesan cheese if desired.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, allowing guests to pull apart the bread balls to enjoy.
