Kaiser Rolls

Ingredients

• Flour :550g (4 and 1/4 cups (loosely packed))
• Dough conditioner: 15g (2 tsp)
• Warm Water :300 ml (1 + 1/4 cup)
• Honey or sugar :50g (1/4 cup sugar or 1/6 cup honey) *I use 30g of monkfruit
• Salt :10g (1 + 1/2 tsp)
• Yeast :5g (1 + 1/2 tsp)
• Butter or oil : 50g (3 1/2 tbsp)
• Egg: 1 for egg wash before baking
• Optional poppy seeds, pumpkin seeds or other toppings

Directions

In a bowl, mix ingredients from flour to butter or oil shaggy dough. Pour onto counter and kneed for 10 minutes. Once the dough is smooth, let rest for 10-minutes.

Divide dough into 10 pieces. (each around 97g)

Roll each roll into 6 inch cigar looking buns. Once all are rolled, roll each piece into longer pieces measuring about 18 inches.

Next, cross the dough loosely to make a knot. Tuck the two pieces one in the back and one in the front pinching the ends to form a knot.

Place each roll on a cookie sheet with parchment paper. No need for non-stick sprays.

Let rise in warm space until doubled. Pre-heat oven to 350

At this time egg-wash the buns and sprinkle optional poppy seeds, pumpkin seeds or other seeds.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until brown.

Photos to come. 😄
