Kaiser rolls- The bread of Kings

Today's exercise:

Shaping Kaiser rolls.

Aim:

To practice the three predominantly used Kaiser rolls shaping methods.

Now we are rolling!

Three different shaping methods. The knot is hands down my favorite.

1. Knotted

2. Stamped

3. Folded

#3 is the old school traditional method. Also the hardest to master.

The final product.

Hot pastrami on a fresh Kaiser roll. I dare say, any would be hard pressed to find a better specimen. Any deli, any town, any state. I will even add any country!

Smile... I kill me!!!

It looks soooo good!

Of course, you also dropped a challenge.  I will offer that Corky and Lenny's in Cleveland used to sell a "Romanian" pastrami that was head and shoulders above any ordinary pastrami I have ever tasted.  If you are topping that you have something truly fantastic. It had the glistening look that your picture shows.

(It was a long time ago - the 1970s - and I don't know if it can still be gotten).
