Today's exercise:
Shaping Kaiser rolls.
Aim:
To practice the three predominantly used Kaiser rolls shaping methods.
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).
