A while ago I decided to do the BBA Challenge. So the short of it is that you bake your way through the Bread Bakers Apprentice cookbook (Peter Reinhart). I have been doing this very, very sporadically, but I haven’t given up on it. Fact is, I’m downright excited about some of the recipes that are coming up. But I wasn’t feeling the excitement for Kaiser Rolls.
But, being off for a week makes for perfect circumstances for doing those things you’ve been meaning to do.
Here they are, right after shaping. I found the whole tie them in a knot business to be a bit tricky, but was not about to buy an additional kitchen gadget to stamp the rolls to give them the kaiser roll shape. Like much else, this got easier as I went along.
This is what they looked like straight out of the oven.
Here you see them as a part of a ham and swiss sandwich. On the side is a fantastic kale salad based on this one. I have but one more serving of this salad left. I am torn between wanting to save it for a bit and wanting to devour it right now.
This is the second way that I enjoyed these rolls. Pulled pork. If you like pork, you should make this right away. I’m not even the biggest pork fan, but I loved this recipe.
While I wasn’t looking forward to making these, I sure did enjoy them. In fact, I find myself wishing that I had doubled the recipe. There is just one roll left. I have big plans to make curry turkey burgers for dinner tomorrow, and these would have been the perfect bread for them. This recipe will be repeated.
