Ohh Anja, thank you. This is the recipe I have been waiting for. They look delicious. I'm heading into the kitchen and will report back tomorrow! Have a lovely day.
Oh my, I cant wait to try these. Back in 1973 I spent a year in Germany. We did not live on base we ha a small apartment in a village. Our apartment was across the street from a bakery and I woke up every morning to the sound of church bells and the smell of these roles. I would walk across the street most mornings and buy two for our breakfast. This is one of my most precious memories even after all these years. I have never found rolls like these in America and I am looking forward to reliving my absolute favorite breakfast. Thank you.❤
My husband lived in Germany for a number of years. I had found your video and had him watch it too. Thank you sooooo much! Finally, I can make him a roll like he has missed for about 45 years!!! These are delicious!!!
Anja, this recipe is a gift for me !!! For so long I look for the recipe of the rolls from my childhood. There are the best of the best. On Sunday after the mass everybody went to the backery to buy a big bag of " pistolets" . there were still warm and they smell like haven. This was a very happy moment for the little girl I was. You understand why I said your recipe is really a present for me. The image is the same the one I keep in my memory. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sunday I will make a super surprise for my husband !
Back in the 70’s I spend 18 months in your beautiful country (Berlin). One of the things I miss is these wonderful rolls. As a new bread baker, I can’t wait to try this recipe. Thanks so much for sharing!
Vielen Dank! Vor 60 Jahren war ich in Stuttgart und diese frischen Brötchen habe ich nie vergessen. Viele Male habe ich versucht, sie zu machen, aber es kam nie richtig heraus. Dieses Rezept sieht so gut aus. Danke nochmal!
Oh I am so excited to make these! I used to live in Germany and I loved eating these. These are so delicious and this just brings back so many memories. They look exactly as I remember. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for this recipe, Anja! My husband is German and we have missed the breads so much since moving to the states. He is very excited to have me try this recipe!
These rolls bring back good memories. When i was a teenager i worked as a busboy in a fancy club. The german baker, Chris, made these rolls. The only difference i see is he had cornmeal on the bottoms and they had a very light shine. So delicious fresh out of the oven!! I was an animal back then. I would just stab my thumb through the side to make an opening and just smash two pats of butter inside the hole. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!! Im afraid to try your recipe, i might start the thumb smashing through the side thing again :-). Great video!! Thank you!!
Endlich habe ich Brötchen korrekt gebacken. I've been trying to get this right for months. Yours is the only recipe I've come across that gives the rolls a 2nd rise **after** shaping them. Other videos I've seen let the dough rise twice, then shape them and then straight into the oven but they always come out heavy. That 2nd rise **after** they've been shaped made all the difference. Knusprig aussen, weich innen! Echt!! Danke, danke, danke!
Hallo Anja, Ich bin auch seit '97 Immigrant hier in USA, Orlando Fl. Ich bin sehr froh dass ich Ihre UA-cam Beitraege gefunden habe. Mein Sourdough ist angesetzt nd ich werde bald deutsches Mischbrot backen koennen. Ach deieses Rezept fuer Broetchen werde ich bald backen koennne. Recht herzlichen Dank fuer ae Tips und Rezepte.
I’m so happy to see this recipe! The first time I went to visit my brother in Germany many years ago, he went to the bakery and got Brötchen for breakfast or lunch, and I fell in love with them. I came home to Southern California and tried to find the same rolls, crispy outside and soft inside, and could NOT find them. Now I can make some:)
New Subscriber! Thanks for sharing! My husbands family is German. Im going to try this today! Would be so good with italian beef, with butter or dipped in a hot soup! yum!
Thank you for this great video and recipe! I made the dough last night at 10:30pm and the rolls are now rising. Think they will be perfect for the Nuernberger Bratwuerste I got from Aldi yesterday :) Thank you so much!!
At long last, brotchen!! We lived in Germany awhile & loved it.....we have missed the schnell imbiss in our quaint German town (Sohren) where we would get a bratwurst & a mettwurst in brotchen. You just can't find it here. So, thank you for bringing us a recipe for it ! Now, if only I could find authentic mettwurst but that's not made here the way it is in Germany; so I think I'm out of luck.
😊 I grew up in Germany as a child. The 1st time I ever had a brought worst it was in the brochen bread We had gone to the largest city in our area called KaiserSlatern There were a lot of Food trucks around the area Where I tried my 1st brought worst in brochen bread. I had not found this bread anywhere since coming back to America. Thank you for posting this video so I can learn to make it myself. God-bless
I make my Brötchen with a combination of sourdough starter and fresh yeast. I bake them with steam to get that lovely crust. Brötchen is amongst the many German foods that I miss. I use my bread machine to make the dough, no kneading needed. To your recipe I'd add ½ cup of loose sourdough starter and 20 grams of fresh yeast. Mix it up in my bread machine and then let it sit overnight in a covered bowl in the refrigerator. 😋
@@OurGabledHome You're very welcome. Ever since I found your site and sourdough videos, I've been on a wonderful journey of bread making. It is so easy to simply follow your no discards method! I had trouble with throwing away perfectly good starter. We Germans are frugal to our core. 😊
The rolls look beautiful! I like the way you created the steam!! I used to work in the bakery at Walmart, they look like the bolios, not sure on spelling 😊! Thank you for sharing!
Dear Anja, thank you so much for your videos! I'm a Brazilian living in Germany with a German husband and children :) I just made my first sourdough last week with Emmer and that was thanks to you! I wanted to ask if you have tried the Brötchen recipe with different flours? We love Körnerbrötchen and it's getting so hard to find authentic bakeries since the supermarkets and mass production bread is taking over. Do you have tips or different combinations of this recipe you have tried? I appreciate any suggestions! 😊
Habe gerade deine Videos durchgeguckt und bin auf diese Broetchen gestossen. Jetzt habe ich richtig Lust auf sie bekommen. Frueher habe ich sie oft fuer unser Sonntagsfruehstueck gemacht mit einem aehnlichen Rezept. Aber ich moechte gerne mal dein Rezept probieren. Ich mache das auch so mit der Waage, damit sie einigermasse gleich schwer sind. Vielen Dank fuer das Video und die Idee! :)
Thank you for the comprehensive video instructions. Your Brötchen look amazing! I followed your instructions with a couple of exceptions. I estimated the "little bit of sugar" as about 1/8th tsp. I kneaded the dough in my stand mixer on a low of speed 2 for ~7 minutes and left the dough in the refrigerator overnight for ~4 hours longer than your instructions said to. I did the final raise in my oven on the bread-proof setting (consistent 100˚ temperature) for a little over 2 hours, but the Brötchen did not raise to double in size. As I scored the Brötchen with a razor blade a couple of them sunk/flattened. I baked the Brötchen at 425˚ for 10 minutes, turned the pan around, and baked for another 10 minutes. Overall, the flavor was good, however, the texture outside was overly hard and the interior was quite dense. I will make adjustments on my next batch (tomorrow!) but if you have any suggested changes I would appreciate you sharing them.
Hi Anja, thank you so much for this. Ill be baking these very soon. My question is, can I use fresh yeast, and if yes what do you suggest with regards to quantity. Would you change anything else in the recipe or does the process stay the same? Vielen Dank aus New Jersey (und Koln-Lindenthal)
I came across your channel just a few days ago through Farmhouse on Boone, and I love it. I tried your pretzels recipe today, and oh, were they good. Thank you so much! Next, I'll try the sourdough starter with cultured buttermilk. Mine dies after the 3rd or 4th day. I am not very good at feeding. I hope your method makes it easier. I wanted to post the pretzel pic here, I don't think I can... 😊
You are welcome, Anja, and I am pleased to say your cultured buttermilk method also worked, I now have an amazing starter, active & happy, and love the smell, especially. Danke dir vom Herzen, bin so froh deinen channel gefunden zu haben 😊- Ganz liebe Gruesse, Alina 🙏
@@OurGabledHome I actually learned how to make bread from a German UA-cam channel. @breadcode is who taught me how to make bread and perked my interest. When I saw that your rolls were German style,I was definitely in!!! Thank you again, and I love your videos!!!
Anya, these look amazing. I was fortunate to live in Germany for several years and I do miss the bread. Do you make dinkle brochen! They were my favorite rolls.
I have NEVER made a dough with yeast before... always shying away from it (don't really know why). But, I am going to try these. These Broetchen are the one thing I have never been able to buy here where I live in Canada. Wish me luck!
My oven has a proofing cycle. Would it be good to use this for the last rising, or since it is warmer, it rises faster, would I be better off leaving it on a counter for a longer rise. Would the longer rise be best?
@@OurGabledHome Thank you for your answer. I did try it on the proofing cycle, and they over proofed and fell flat like a pancake. I will try a shorter time next time. I will say, even though they were flat, the taste was spot on, so I will keep trying as this recipe tastes like what we had when we lived in Germany. I think it must have been the diastatic malt powder that gave it that great flavor.
Hallo, habe dich Gersten auf utube gefunden. :-) Ich lebe auch in den USA und vermisse Brot und Brötchen. Heute werde die dieses Rezept versuchen. Ich freue mich schon auf das Frühstück. Vielen Dank. 😊
Hi! Thanks for the recipe Anja. I followed your recipe but mine didn't turn out crunchy. They do taste yummy though 😋, I'll give another go soon. Take care and thanks again!
@@OurGabledHome My shrimpy butter garlic n pepper was a hit🤙 You're buns made it the star as this year the people were able to dip an outstanding roll (of which last year's did NOT go over well) into.😃 Thanks for making this video🍻 If it wasn't for you, this would not of happened. The people are once again happy👍
@@OurGabledHome hi Anja! Zweiter Anlauf war super :) Hab mir auch dry malt besorgt und die Brötchen dieses Mal schön lange gehen lassen. Mein Mann war begeistert.
I can't find diastatic dry malt powder here in Sweden. I'll try to find it on a German site which usually have a much larger selection of products than Swedish ones. I even found sugarfree Hungarian plum marmelade on a German site once. Tasted so good on homemade bread! Could you recommend a good German brand of diastetic dry malt or even a good online shop?
Have you tried finding it on amazon? I can see it here www.amazon.de/enzymaktiv-diastasisches-natürliches-Backmittel-Zusatzstoffe/dp/B00TVGRMAK/ref=sr_1_8?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=1CFHHIGZMXFGG&keywords=backmalz&qid=1659481108&sprefix=backmalz%2Caps%2C188&sr=8-8 hopefully they have it in Sweden, too (in German it's called Backmalz) 😊 ~ Anja
@@OurGabledHome Ah! Thank you! Yours is enzymaktiv but on other German baking sites I've found enzyminaktiv recommended. I understand the difference somewhat, but what do you find? Which one is for what kind of baking would you say?
why are my rolls never getting the golden brown color? My one are always turning pale and I have tried it all and always have ice in the oven for the steam.
@@peterbiskup1122you may have to change the height of your racks, closer to the top element if your tops are white. Also you can get an inexpensive oven thermometer and test different areas of your oven. Everyone's oven has a spot where the temp is hotter or cooler.
I followed very well all your instructions but the result was not what I had expected. I think it must be the Flour. you said all purpose flour . I grind my hard white wheat berries but the rolls were dense. The taste was very good but not the texture. Do you think the hard white wheat berries was the problem ? do I need to mix hard white wheat berries with soft white weat berries ? did yoy make the rolls with your grains or all purpose flour from the store ? Please I need your help before I 'll try again. Thank you very much.
I am so sorry to hear that! I would try again with soft white wheat flour (I used AP, whole grain will give you a denser roll). Are you sure your yeast was fresh and active? I know it can be frustrating if you don't get the desired results but keep trying, eventually you will get it 👍 ~ Anja
For anyone who only uses sourdough in their baked goods you can convert this recipe to sourdough. If you can't find barley malt in powder you can always use Barley Malt syrup.
Hallo Anja, deine Brötchen sehen wirklich sehr gut aus! Ich suchte schon länger nach einem Rezept "over night" und ich werde sie auf jeden Fall genau so backen:) Noch eine Frage: Ich tausche Weizenmehl immer gegen Dinkel aus. Ist das evtl. ein Problem bei diesem Rezept oder hast du das auch schon gemacht? Ganz liebe Grüße aus dem ziemlich heißen Norddeutschland von Milka
Klar, kannst Du die auch mit Dinkelmehl machen. Sie werden evtl. nicht ganz so fluffig, aber vom Geschmack her super. Viel Spaß beim Backen (vielleicht nicht gerade in der Hitze ...) 😊 ~ Anja
This recipe looks so good. Thank you for sharing.. I am trying this recipe, but had to refrigerate for 24 hours instead, then my lid popped off the bowl and the dough formed a dry crust on top. I tried to knead it some and portioned out into 8 pieces. I thought I would let the dough warm up a bit to be able to shape them. The dough is still very cold and stiff. Did you let it get to room temperature before you shaped the rolls?
My Grandmother was German , she spoke low German. She made wonderful dinner rolls. I called them buns and she called them Sway Boc. I have no way of the correct spelling but that is how it sounded. I believe they were made with mashed potatoes or maybe just potato water. Do you or anyone reading this know of anything like this.
Ohh Anja, thank you. This is the recipe I have been waiting for. They look delicious. I'm heading into the kitchen and will report back tomorrow! Have a lovely day.

Hi Anja, mein Teig ist nicht richtig aufgegangen. Das Mehl vielleicht? Die Hefe war frisch und sonst hab ich auch alles genauso gemacht 🤷♀️
Das ist ja blöd!! Vielleicht den Teig länger und/oder wärmer gehen lassen, bis er sich wirklich verdoppelt hat. Hoffe, das hilft 😊 ~ Anja
@@OurGabledHome hi Anja! Zweiter Anlauf war super :) Hab mir auch dry malt besorgt und die Brötchen dieses Mal schön lange gehen lassen. Mein Mann war begeistert.
I can't find diastatic dry malt powder here in Sweden. I'll try to find it on a German site which usually have a much larger selection of products than Swedish ones. I even found sugarfree Hungarian plum marmelade on a German site once. Tasted so good on homemade bread! Could you recommend a good German brand of diastetic dry malt or even a good online shop?
Have you tried finding it on amazon? I can see it here www.amazon.de/enzymaktiv-diastasisches-natürliches-Backmittel-Zusatzstoffe/dp/B00TVGRMAK/ref=sr_1_8?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=1CFHHIGZMXFGG&keywords=backmalz&qid=1659481108&sprefix=backmalz%2Caps%2C188&sr=8-8 hopefully they have it in Sweden, too (in German it's called Backmalz) 😊 ~ Anja
@@OurGabledHome Ah! Thank you! Yours is enzymaktiv but on other German baking sites I've found enzyminaktiv recommended. I understand the difference somewhat, but what do you find? Which one is for what kind of baking would you say?
is there a diff if i use whole wheat?
Yes, they will be less fluffy, you will need a bit more water, and they will taste different.
Yes, that’s very nice The amounts would be nice in grams and also no amounts on your website seems a bit pointless.
why are my rolls never getting the golden brown color? My one are always turning pale and I have tried it all and always have ice in the oven for the steam.
You can try higher oven temperature ~ Anja
@@OurGabledHome I have it. On 450F for 25 min already. The bottom is perfect but the top looks white.
@@peterbiskup1122try more sugar. The brown color comes from the sugar caramelizing
@@peterbiskup1122you may have to change the height of your racks, closer to the top element if your tops are white. Also you can get an inexpensive oven thermometer and test different areas of your oven. Everyone's oven has a spot where the temp is hotter or cooler.
I followed very well all your instructions but the result was not what I had expected. I think it must be the Flour. you said all purpose flour . I grind my hard white wheat berries but the rolls were dense. The taste was very good but not the texture. Do you think the hard white wheat berries was the problem ? do I need to mix hard white wheat berries with soft white weat berries ? did yoy make the rolls with your grains or all purpose flour from the store ? Please I need your help before I 'll try again. Thank you very much.
I am so sorry to hear that! I would try again with soft white wheat flour (I used AP, whole grain will give you a denser roll). Are you sure your yeast was fresh and active? I know it can be frustrating if you don't get the desired results but keep trying, eventually you will get it 👍 ~ Anja
Do you have a sourdough version of this recipe?
Not yet but working on it 👍
For anyone who only uses sourdough in their baked goods you can convert this recipe to sourdough. If you can't find barley malt in powder you can always use Barley Malt syrup.
Yes and thank you so much for sharing 😊 ~ Anja
You just made my day. I have barley malt syrup. How much would I use?
Hallo Anja, deine Brötchen sehen wirklich sehr gut aus!
Ich suchte schon länger nach einem Rezept "over night" und ich werde sie auf jeden Fall genau so backen:)
Noch eine Frage: Ich tausche Weizenmehl immer gegen Dinkel aus. Ist das evtl. ein Problem bei diesem Rezept oder hast du das auch schon gemacht?
Ganz liebe Grüße aus dem ziemlich heißen Norddeutschland

Klar, kannst Du die auch mit Dinkelmehl machen. Sie werden evtl. nicht ganz so fluffig, aber vom Geschmack her super. Viel Spaß beim Backen (vielleicht nicht gerade in der Hitze ...) 😊 ~ Anja
Bring on the rindswurst!!
Hmmm I remember these from Germany!
Right? Now you can bake them, too 😊 ~ Anja
Did you ever use sourdough in this recipe instead of the yeast?
You absolutely can and I am planning on making a sourdough rolls video sometime soon.
Wow ,nice
Thank you so much 😊 ~ Anja
Hey, why didn't you use your sour dough starter?
Next time! First I wanted to master this recipe 😊 ~ Anja
This recipe looks so good. Thank you for sharing.. I am trying this recipe, but had to refrigerate for 24 hours instead, then my lid popped off the bowl and the dough formed a dry crust on top. I tried to knead it some and portioned out into 8 pieces. I thought I would let the dough warm up a bit to be able to shape them. The dough is still very cold and stiff. Did you let it get to room temperature before you shaped the rolls?
You should be fine. Just let the rolls sit a bit longer at room temperature before baking. Hope this helps 😊 ~ Anja
@@OurGabledHome thank you!
What type of flour? Bread flour?
I used AP flour but I am sure you can use bread flour as well 👍 ~ Anja
Novice with UA-cam where do I find the recipe?
You will find it here: ourgabledhome.com/how-to-make-crusty-german-bread-rolls-brotchen/😊 ~ Anja
My Grandmother was German , she spoke low German. She made wonderful dinner rolls. I called them buns and she called them Sway Boc. I have no way of the correct spelling but that is how it sounded. I believe they were made with mashed potatoes or maybe just potato water. Do you or anyone reading this know of anything like this.
Tolle schrippen. Butter rauf schmieren und mampfen mit 'ner tasse Jacobs Kaffee. 😄
Genau! Ganz wie zuhause 😊 ~ Anja
Ohhhh, I miss Brotchen so much! You make it look so easy to make at home. I've never made it, but I sure have eaten my fair share! Yummy!
I miss them, too, that's why I created this recipe. Hope you get to make them because it's actually pretty easy 😊
They look a lot like Portuguese buns called papo secos.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
Porfavor en español
I so want a German wife.. Am Latino..
You lost me the moment you mentioned metric.
