Yet another dough with preferment. The preferment really is a great idea though, so little work for so much more flavor.Honestly, this dough was nothing special, so this post will be brief. The best part was shaping it. Traditional kaiser shaping involves complex folding and layering. Modern kaiser shaping involves buying a tool specifically for that purpose. Fortunately, BBA gives us a middle of the road opportunity, which does not require extreme amounts of work or any amount of money, yet still looks pretty darned good.
To shape these rolls, each section of dough was rolled out into a rope. The rope was then knotted, and the free ends tucked around again. I was dubious at first, but they look fantastic!
As far as taste goes, these are alright. Challah rolls are still my favorite for sandwiches, though.
