Zubereitung von Brotchen Traditional German Bread Rolls
- In a large mixing bowl, dissolve 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar in 1 cup warm water (105-115°F).
- Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in 1/4 cup vegetable shortening, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3 cups all-purpose flour.
- Beat with a dough whisk or heavy spoon for 2 minutes.
- Gently fold in 2 large egg whites.
- Gradually add remaining flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough forms a mass and pulls away from the bowl.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Knead for 8-10 minutes, adding more flour as needed, until smooth, elastic, and bubbly.
- Lightly oil a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat.
- Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
- Gently deflate the dough. Shape it into a round and let rise again until doubled, about 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Gently deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces. Shape each piece into an oval roll about 3 1/2 inches long.
- Place the rolls on lightly greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
- Place an empty baking sheet on the bottom rack of the oven.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg white and 2 tablespoons milk to make an egg wash.
- Lightly brush the risen rolls with the egg wash.
- Place 1 cup of ice cubes on the hot baking sheet on the bottom rack.
- Immediately place the rolls in the oven on the upper rack.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Remove the rolls to a wire rack to cool.
