Make your mornings royal with homemade Kaiser rolls

Kaiser rolls are among the most popular rolls in shops. Instead of buying inferior bread made from deep-frozen dough, opt for homemade rolls. This is a tried-and-true recipe for a breakfast that will delight your loved ones. According to some sources, the name "Kaiser" originates from the German word "Kaiser", which means emperor. These rolls can definitely make you feel royal.

Freshly baked, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, they melt in your mouth. Preparing them is easier than it might seem, and the aroma of baking dough for homemade Kaiser rolls filling the house will make your stomach rumble instantly.

Homemade rolls with cuts are incomparably better than those from the shop. The whole experience is complemented by herb-garlic butter with finely chopped shallots. Homemade Kaiser rolls taste best fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days.

Ingredients:

Kaiser rolls

• 20g fresh yeast,
• 1 teaspoon sugar,
• 240ml water,
• 240g plain flour,
• 1 pinch of salt,
• 1 egg,
• 70g melted butter.

Herb butter

• 1 clove of garlic,
• 100g butter,
• 1/3 cup chopped chives,
• 1/3 cup chopped parsley,
• 1 small shallot,
• 1/3 teaspoon salt.

Instructions:

Step 1. Crumble the yeast into warm water, add a tablespoon of flour and sugar, and stir. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to rise. It should at least double in volume.

Step 2. Meanwhile, prepare the herb butter. Peel and crush the garlic, then add it to the softened butter. Add the finely chopped onion, chives, parsley, and salt, and mix thoroughly.

Step 3. Sift the remaining flour into a bowl, add salt, egg, melted butter, and the risen yeast. Knead a smooth, uniform dough for the rolls. Set aside for an hour to rise.

Step 4. Gently stretch the risen dough on a floured surface and divide it into smaller portions. Form balls and roll them out. Fold the edges to the centre, forming the shape of Kaiser rolls. Check out the video recipe for a detailed demonstration. Let rise for 30 minutes.

Step 5. Place the prepared rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for 15 minutes.

Step 6. Serve the crispy Kaiser rolls with the prepared herb-garlic butter. Enjoy!
