Time 3h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 ½ cups warm water (110 degrees F)
2 tablespoons shortening
2 teaspoons salt
7 cups all-purpose flour
3 egg whites, stiffly beaten
1 egg white (for egg wash)
2 tablespoons cold milk

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let sit until creamy; about 10 minutes.
  • Mix in shortening, salt and 3 cups of the flour. Beat with dough whisk or heavy spoon for 2 minutes. Fold in egg whites. Gradually add flour 1/4 cup at a time, until dough forms a mass and begins to pull away from bowl. Turn onto a floured surface. Knead, adding more flour as necessary, for 8 to 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic with bubbles.
  • Lightly oil a large mixing bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Deflate the dough, form into a round and let rise again until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces and form into oval rolls about 3 1/2 inches long. Place on lightly greased baking sheets, cover and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
  • Place an empty baking sheet on the bottom rack of the oven. In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg white with the 2 tablespoons of milk to make the egg wash. Lightly brush the risen rolls with the egg wash. Place 1 cup of ice cubes on the hot baking sheet in the oven and immediately place the rolls in the oven.
  • Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for about 20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Remove to a wire rack and cool.

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Ensure the water or milk is warm enough (around 110-115°F) to activate the yeast. If the liquid is too hot, it will kill the yeast, and if it's too cold, it won't activate properly.
  • Knead the dough well: Kneading develops the gluten in the dough, which gives the rolls their structure and chewiness. Knead for at least 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough to double in size and become light and airy. You can place the dough in a warm oven (turned off) or in a warm spot in your kitchen.
  • Shape the rolls carefully: Once the dough has risen, divide it into equal pieces and shape them into rolls. Be gentle with the dough to avoid deflating it.
  • Bake the rolls until golden brown: Bake the rolls in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped. This usually takes around 15-20 minutes.

Conclusion:

German breakfast rolls, or Brötchen, are a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are soft, chewy, and have a slightly sweet flavor.
