Lye rolls very easy and extremely delicious! Made with Kaiser Natron, or baking soda / baking soda.

ingredients

  • 500g flour
  • 1 pck of yeast (dry)
  • 20-40 g butter or margarine (I take butter)
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 300 ml of lukewarm water
  • 3 tablespoons of baking soda / Kaiser soda / baking soda
  • 1 L of boiling water

preparation

  1. Making a yeast dough out of the ingredients is the easiest and fastest way to do it in a food processor. Simply mix all ingredients together / knead.
  2. To double the amount. Here is the "fridge-tip" very good :) Best one night ... then you can in the morning the bread fresh for breakfast bake.
  3. Then make bread rolls and briefly immerse them in 1 liter of boiling water with 3 tablespoons of baking soda / Kaiser soda (for about 30 seconds). I use this "wooden spoon" with the holes in it ... ladle?
  4. Place the dipped rolls on a baking sheet (lined with baking paper), slice with a knife and sprinkle with coarse salt. Then bake at 200 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes.

? Tips

  • Makes about 6 big rolls or 10 smaller rolls. I always do twice the amount.
  • Also always comes very good with our guests and we also like the bread rolls, if we have a barbecue.
  • Without being immersed in the lye, they are also great, especially if it is supposed to be for breakfast and you do not like lye cookies.
  • Of course you can also make pretzels or sticks.
  • The recipe has addictive potential, I have to bake it for a few days constantly for the family! But it is really fast!
