DESCRIPTION
A very fast and easy kaiser roll recipe that works every time!!

SUMMARY
Yield 12 rolls File under Kaiser, Poppy seed, Roll, rolls, sesame seed

INGREDIENTS
6 Cups KAF Unbleached all purpose flour
2 tsp. Salt
2 Tbs. Saf-T instant yeast
4 Tbs. Sugar
2 Cups warm water
1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
1 egg white with 2 Tbs. Cold water slightly beaten
Poppy or sesame seeds

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven at least 20 minutes ahead to 400 degrees. You need a good hot oven.
In a standing mixer bowl combine flour, salt, sugar and undissolved yeast.
Using a dough hook on a medium setting add the water and oil to the flour mixture and let work until if forms a soft dough ball. About 10 minutes.
Once the dough has formed a soft ball let the dough hook continue to work another five minutes.
Take out and place on a floured board and knead 5 to 10 minutes until smooth.
Grease a large bowl and place dough in the bowl turning to coat. Cover and let rise one hour. ( I place my bowl on a heating pad on low during this time)
Remove, pound down and turn out onto a lightly floured surface, divide into 12 pieces.
Shape each piece into a ball. With a sharp knife cut a 1/4 inch deep star into each ball.
Place cut side down onto a greased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
Cover with a tea towel and let rise for 30 minutes.
Flip balls over and brush with egg white and water mixture. Add poppy seeds or sesame seeds at this time.
Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
Place on wire racks to cool.
Enjoy!!

Wow, they look great. When you tear them apart, what does the crumb look like?

I made a half-batch on Saturday. Nice rolls. Fine texture. Went well with pulled pork!

To dachshundlady... These are not GF. Just a great kaiser roll and they look and taste like a hot fresh kaiser.
Wingboy... Glad you had good luck with them!
