Nancy's Crusty Homemade Kaiser Rolls

Kaiser rolls, originating from Austria, are crusty, round bread rolls with a distinctive five-point star pattern on top. Traditionally made from white flour, water, yeast, salt, and a touch of malt, they have a crisp, golden-brown crust and a soft, airy interior. These rolls are versatile, often used for sandwiches or as a side to soups and salads. The star pattern, typically hand-formed or pressed with a special stamp, symbolizes the Austrian crown, reflecting their imperial origins. Kaiser rolls are a popular choice in delis and bakeries, especially in the United States and Europe.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups of all purpose flour (2 tablespoons of additional all purpose flour for dusting)
