Sesame & Poppy Kaiser Rolls (Kaisersemmel) with Skim Milk

Kaisersemmel or Kaiser Brötchen are a staple breakfast, lunch and picnic food in Germany! They are a softer, fluffier bread than the rye-heavy German breads with a crispy crust. Excellent for making little cheese, or lunch meat, or salami sandwiches :)

50 g

1/4 tsp

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Mix the pre dough ingredients in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let ferment in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours

* Step 2

On day 2 - baking day: mix the yeast with skim milk.

* Step 3

In a large bowl add the flour, the pre-dough and then pour the skim milk mix around the edge.

* Step 4

Working from around the edge of the bowl, gradually work the liquid and flour together until the liquid has been absorbed. The dough will be moist yet still in chunky crumbles.

* Step 5

Next work the center of the dough by squeezing with your hands - bring it together into a ball until no longer crumbly and all the flour has been worked in.

* Step 6

Remove dough to a floured working surface and knead into a smooth ball.

* Step 7

Cover and let rise in a warm place for 40-60 minutes until doubled in size

* Step 8

Divide dough into 8 pieces (100 g each) and roll into small balls. Set on a cloth and gently cover with a tea towel or put into a wooden proofing box. Let rest for 20 minutes

* Step 9

Next press out the air from each ball of dough and reform into a roll by folding over the edges in a circular pattern and pressing the folded edges into the center.

* Step 10

Moisten the smooth side of each roll on a moist towel and dip into either seas,e or poppy seeds. Place seed-side down on a bakery/canvas cloth and let rise for another 30 minutes

* Step 11

After risen, place each roll gently onto a baking sheet with the seed side up. If you have one, each roll with a Kaiser roll pattern stamp. If not make one or two cuts in the surface
