Kaiser rolls are some of the most popular rolls found in stores. Rather than purchasing low-quality bread made from deep frozen dough, choose homemade rolls instead. This is a reliable recipe for a breakfast that will delight your loved ones. Some sources suggest that the name "Kaiser" comes from the German word "Kaiser", meaning emperor. These rolls can certainly make you feel royal.

Recipe for Kaiser Rolls

Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, freshly baked Kaiser rolls melt in your mouth. Preparing them is easier than you might think, and the aroma of baking dough will fill your home and make your stomach rumble.

Homemade rolls with cuts are far superior to store-bought ones. Herb-garlic butter with finely chopped shallots enhances the experience. These rolls taste best fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
