German Brötchen Rolls
These rolls are soft on the inside with that perfect crust on the outside. They’re totally versatile and can be dressed up or enjoyed simply with some butter. Grab your apron and let’s bake!
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) dry yeast
- 1 ½ cups warm water (about 110°F)
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- Cooking spray or additional butter for greasing the pan
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in the warm water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture along with the melted butter.
- Mix until a dough forms. It should be a bit sticky, but not too wet. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into equal pieces (about 12-15). Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a greased baking sheet, leaving space between each roll.
- Cover the rolls with the damp cloth and let them rest for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Just before baking, cut a small slit on the top of each roll, if you like.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
- Let them cool on a wire rack and enjoy!
