Rolls like in the GDR: Double rolls are a success with this recipe!
And this is how it works: All the ingredients are first mixed together for about five to seven minutes on the lowest level and then kneaded for another 15 minutes with the dough hook to form an elastic dough. After that it must rest for an hour, but in a cool place – this ensures that the dough rises very slowly. Then fold it once and let it rest for another hour.
Then divide the piece into smaller pieces of dough, so ten to twelve should end up with this amount of ingredients. Form them into rounds and lay them out in the typical rolls. Then cover and leave to rise for 60 minutes, making a slot after 30 minutes. Then place a casserole dish with water in the oven and preheat the oven to 250 degrees for a fan oven. Then brush the rolls with water and put them in the oven. Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown to light brown. Enjoy your meal!
