Forget store-bought rolls\u2014once you’ve tasted our homemade kaiser rolls recipe there’s no going back. Our Test Kitchen-approved<\/a> recipe demystifies the breadmaking process to show you how to create these iconic rolls in your own kitchen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n With their signature crispy crust and soft, pillowy interior, these kaiser rolls are perfect for everything from hearty Cajun crab burgers<\/a> to mopping up\u00a0bratwurst soups<\/a>\u00a0and sauces. Best of all, the minimal prep and bake time means you can enjoy bakery-quality rolls whenever the mood strikes!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in 1\/2 cup of warm water. Add sugar and let the mixture stand for five minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating that the yeast is activated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> If your yeast mixture doesn’t become foamy after five minutes it may be old or the water too hot. Start over with new yeast<\/a>\u00a0to ensure your rolls rise properly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Add the remaining warm water, sugar, oil, salt and 4 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Beat until smooth, then gradually stir in enough of the remaining flour, 1\/2 cup at a time, to form a soft dough. The dough should be tacky but not sticky.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for six to eight minutes or until it becomes smooth and elastic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> To test if your dough is kneaded enough, press it with your finger. If the indentation springs back your dough is ready.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about one hour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Punch down the dough and divide it into 16 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise again until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and cold water. Brush this mixture over the risen rolls. Sprinkle the tops with poppy or sesame seeds, if desired. Using scissors, cut a 1\/4-inch deep cross on the top of each roll to create the traditional kaiser roll shape.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Bake the rolls for 15 to 20 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.<\/p>\n Store cooled kaiser rolls in an airtight container or bread bag at room temperature for up to three days. To maintain their crusty exterior, avoid storing the rolls in plastic bags, which can make them soggy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Yes, you can freeze kaiser rolls. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months. Thaw at room temperature and reheat in the oven at 350\u00b0 for about five to seven minutes until they’re warmed through and slightly crispy on the outside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n To achieve the classic kaiser roll shape, use a kaiser roll stamp. Alternatively, cutting a cross on top with scissors gives a similar effect and is easier for home bakers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Yes, you can easily omit the egg wash and simply brush the rolls with water or some milk before baking. The crust won’t be as shiny, but the rolls will still be delicious.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Inactive yeast could be one of the likely reasons why your kaiser rolls didn’t rise. In addition, too cool of a rising environment and not allowing the dough to rise for the correct length of time can also lead to flat rolls. Always\u00a0check that your yeast is fresh<\/a>\u00a0before baking and use warm\u2014not hot\u2014water to activate it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Kaiser rolls are versatile and can be served with a variety of dishes\u2014they\u2019re perfect for\u00a0Philly burgers<\/a>\u00a0or as a side bread to accompany hearty soups like this\u00a0beer cheese potato soup<\/a>\u00a0and fresh salads.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kaiser rolls are a staple in many households, but have you ever considered making them from scratch?
