  • 2 tbsp caraway seeds, more if desired

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 15 minutes

hearty, round bread rolls with caraway and salt topping

As usual, make a yeast dough from the ingredients and let it rise for about 30 minutes. Knead thoroughly and form a roll about 5-6 cm thick on a baking board. Cut thumb-thick slices from this. Shape the slices so that there is a pronounced indentation in the middle and let it rise for another 30 minutes on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Then brush with milk and sprinkle with salt and caraway seeds. Bake in a preheated oven at 220 degrees (top and bottom heat) for about 20-25 minutes until light brown. Have fun trying it! Note: This traditional pastry from Dortmund tastes delicious freshly baked with onion mince, cheese, or pork rinds.
