Anja, this recipe is a gift for me !!! For so long I look for the recipe of the rolls from my childhood. There are the best of the best. On Sunday after the mass everybody went to the backery to buy a big bag of " pistolets" . there were still warm and they smell like haven. This was a very happy moment for the little girl I was. You understand why I said your recipe is really a present for me. The image is the same the one I keep in my memory. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sunday I will make a super surprise for my husband !

Endlich habe ich Brötchen korrekt gebacken. I've been trying to get this right for months. Yours is the only recipe I've come across that gives the rolls a 2nd rise **after** shaping them. Other videos I've seen let the dough rise twice, then shape them and then straight into the oven but they always come out heavy. That 2nd rise **after** they've been shaped made all the difference. Knusprig aussen, weich innen! Echt!! Danke, danke, danke!

These rolls bring back good memories. When i was a teenager i worked as a busboy in a fancy club. The german baker, Chris, made these rolls. The only difference i see is he had cornmeal on the bottoms and they had a very light shine. So delicious fresh out of the oven!! I was an animal back then. I would just stab my thumb through the side to make an opening and just smash two pats of butter inside the hole. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!! Im afraid to try your recipe, i might start the thumb smashing through the side thing again :-). Great video!! Thank you!!

I make my Brötchen with a combination of sourdough starter and fresh yeast. I bake them with steam to get that lovely crust. Brötchen is amongst the many German foods that I miss. I use my bread machine to make the dough, no kneading needed. To your recipe I'd add ½ cup of loose sourdough starter and 20 grams of fresh yeast. Mix it up in my bread machine and then let it sit overnight in a covered bowl in the refrigerator. 😋

[@connieglenn9064]

Thank you for the comprehensive video instructions. Your Brötchen look amazing! I followed your instructions with a couple of exceptions. I estimated the "little bit of sugar" as about 1/8th tsp. I kneaded the dough in my stand mixer on a low of speed 2 for ~7 minutes and left the dough in the refrigerator overnight for ~4 hours longer than your instructions said to. I did the final raise in my oven on the bread-proof setting (consistent 100˚ temperature) for a little over 2 hours, but the Brötchen did not raise to double in size. As I scored the Brötchen with a razor blade a couple of them sunk/flattened. I baked the Brötchen at 425˚ for 10 minutes, turned the pan around, and baked for another 10 minutes. Overall, the flavor was good, however, the texture outside was overly hard and the interior was quite dense. I will make adjustments on my next batch (tomorrow!) but if you have any suggested changes I would appreciate you sharing them.

[@OurGabledHome]

Ultimately, you might have to experiment with the ingredient measurements since every flour and every oven is different.

Please I need your help before I 'll try again. Thank you very much.

I am so sorry to hear that! I would try again with soft white wheat flour (I used AP, whole grain will give you a denser roll). Are you sure your yeast was fresh and active? I know it can be frustrating if you don't get the desired results but keep trying, eventually you will get it 👍 ~ Anja
