I found three interesting ways to shape Vienna rolls in an old professional bakers’ manual published in London in 1909. I scaled down the recipe given in the book—which originally called for 17 lb of flour—but I left it otherwise unchanged. The rolls bake beautifully crispy on the outside and have a nice layered interior. —— Clockwise from the bottom in the picture are shown the cannon roll, the horseshoe, and the twin or double roll.

Manuela - Those are beautiful rolls! I love the illustrations on your blog. I'm really enjoying the "history" aspect to your recipes and wonder how you come across some of these wonderful old sources. I am going to keep my eye open for unique old recipes and if I find something worthy I will certainly let you know about it. I love your posts.
