Semmel Rolls- (Bavarian Bread Rolls)
"Delicious Semmels easily made with your stand mixer. These have a wonderful crisp and chewy crust. Great for sandwiches or burgers hot off the grill. Fabulous with butter while still warm. :) This recipe is more of a hamburger/ sandwich bun vs a dinner roll. I suppose you could make them smaller but would need to adjust baking time. I found this recipe duplicated on several websites so I am not sure exactly who to credit it to. I made several changes to the original recipe to suit our taste. The recipe calls for 1/4 ounce of yeast but I often add an additional tsp of yeast if I am going to use all of the flour. I can usually tell by the weather if I am going to need all of the flour (damp, humid)...."
