Directions:
Start by thoroughly mixing water, yeast, olive oil and xylitol using a food processor or, if you do not have it, by hand. Then add both types of flour, salt, seeds, carrots cut into small pieces and knead everything into the dough. Let the dough rise in a warm place for at least 1-2 hours in a bowl covered with a cloth. The dough should double in size. Preheat the oven to approx. 200-220 ℃.
Tip the bread upside down onto a generously floured surface, remove from the mixing bowl and knead the dough with your hands for the last time. Place dough into the loaf pan lined with baking paper and gently sprayed with olive oil cooking spray. Before placing it in the oven, brush the top of the bread with some lukewarm water and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds. Cover for another 10 minutes, then place in the oven. Bake for 10 minutes at 220 ℃, then lower the temperature to 180/200 ℃ and bake for another 20-25 minutes. After baking, let the bread cool completely. Serve with a favourite side dish and enjoy!
