Summary

Name: Brötchen (dinner Rolls)

Category: Oktoberfest

2½ to 3 cups flour

1 package active dry yeast

1 tsp. sugar

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. oil

1 cup warm water

1 egg white

Pour 2½ cups flour into a large bowl and form a well in the center. In a separate

container, mix yeast, sugar, and two tablespoons of water (the water comes from the 1 cup

listed above ). Pour the yeast mixture into the well but do not mix with the flour at this

time.

Cover the bowl with a cloth and set it in a warm place for 15 minutes. Add the remaining

water and oil and beat until mixed.

Turn dough out on counter top and knead until smooth. Add the remaining ½ cup flour

as needed. Put dough in a bowl, cover, and let it rise until double in size. Punch down and

divide the dough into 12 parts. Shape into oval rolls and place 3" apart on a greased and

floured cookie sheet. Cover and let rise until double in size. Beat egg white and 1

teaspoon

water with a fork until frothy and brush on the rolls.

Bake in a preheated oven at 450° F for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
