I know that there are thousands of bread recipes including the recipe for making kaiser rolls.  But  I love this recipe, it is quick easy and so far fail proof.  I have made it hundreds of times and they always turn out,  so in my book it is a keeper! I also like it because you do not have to knead the dough.  I have a lot of problems with pain in my wrists, so it works best for me.  My girls and I love cooking together, some times it would be faster or less messy without their help…. but I feel it is best to let them help while they are still eager to learn.

In large bowl add

  • 2 cups warm water ( if it is too hot or too cold…you will kill the yeast.  So make sure it is warm)
  • 2 TBS yeast
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Give it a few minutes in the bowl, to make sure your yeast is working.

Then add:

  • 3 eggs whipped lightly
  • 3/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Sometimes I add 1/2 cup of apple sauce to make them extra moist, in place of part of the butter.

Mix well….

Start to whisk in the flour one cup at a time ( for a total of 6 cups) you will also need 1/2- 1 cup  when you shape the rolls.

You will need to switch over to a spoon to mix with,  on about cup 4 of flour.

Dough WILL be sticky, scrap down the sides of the bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a towel…I use both.

Set aside in a warm place, (like a sunny window seat) and allow to raise.  Till doubled in size. ( if you are in a hurry let rise 20 mins other wise let it rise 60 mins).  Works best to wait the full 60 mins.

Take off the plastic wrap, punch down to get the air out.  You will need to dust with flour.

IMG_1919

Take out HALF the dough, spread on floured counter top. With your hands make  into a circle.  Keep dusting with flour so it is easy to work with. ( do the same with the other half of dough) I have found it is just easier to work with only half at a time.

IMG_1920

Cut into wedges, and roll up in to crescent roll shape.  Or you can just make balls  in the shape of dinner rolls.

IMG_1921

Place them on a greased pan, Bake 400 degrees 10-12 mins

IMG_1924

Once cooked, brush a bit of butter on top to give them a nice shine.  Take off baking sheet, cool on cooling rack.

Last but not least enjoy!

  • 3 eggs whipped lightly
  • 3/4 cup melted butter (or do 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup apple sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 cups All Purpose or Bread flour works (may need more or less depending on dough.)

  1. First mix:
  2. cups warm water ( if it is too hot or too cold…you will kill the yeast. So make sure it is warm)
