Rolls from the east

Much praised or scolded – with this Ostsemmel or Ostbrötchen that was produced by bakeries in GDR times, it is not just an eating habit. This bread roll, roll or also called double, was firmer in the consistency, small and partly also softer in the crust by the long preparation time. In short: little air, much taste and after 2 rolls you are also full.

Since there are still lovers of this pastry, bakers have also started baking these rolls again (or never stopped).

Course: pastries
Cuisine: East Germany
Keyword: neutral
Difficulty: Practised
Total Time: 2 hours 30 minutes
Servings: 25

Ingredients & Shopping list

  • 1 kg wheat flour (typ 550)
  • 650 ml water
  • 20 g salt
  • 25 g fresh yeast
  • 10 g malt
  • 10-20 g butter
  • 5 g sugar
  • water, can be partially replaced by whey

Preparation

You can add the ingredients in brackets, but you don't have to. However, they must not all be added to the dough, because they are partly mutually exclusive. If you use whey, you don't need lard. If you use sugar, you don't need malt. It depends on how you like it best. You have to try it out.

  • Mix all the chosen ingredients together. Keep the dough cool. Knead nicely! Then let rest covered for 30 minutes to – 1 hour. Beat together again.
  • Let it rest again for the same amount of time. The dough must rise slowly. If it is too warm, it will rise too quickly!
  • Cut off the desired size (approx. 60g). Shape the rolls as desired.
  • Let rise until desired size. (30 min). Cut into the dough at the right time, halfway through, so that they do not collapse.
  • Always avoid giving the buns a skin.
  • After 20 minutes they should have the desired colour. Baking them longer will only make them dry.
  • Brush the dough nicely with water and bake in a hot oven with lots of steam (220°C) for approx. 20 min.
