Kaiser Rolls

Adapted from King Arthur Baking
Video on making the knots from King Arthur

I use my Zojirushi Bread Maker on the dough setting for the mixing, kneading and first rise.

Ingredients

3 cups (360g) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1½ tsp instant yeast
1½ tsp sugar
1¼ tsp (8g) salt
1 large egg beaten
2 Tbsp (28g) unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup (170g) lukewarm water
1 Tbsp milk (approximately) for top wash

Directions

This recipe is not precise. There is some room for error in the measurements

Put all wet ingredients into the bread machine, except for the top wash
Mix in a bowl the dry ingredients then pour on top of the wet ingredients
Run the bread mixer on dough

When the bread machine is finished

Preheat oven to 425ºF
Divide the dough up into 6 balls. I do this by weight
Shape each ball according to the video from King Arthur
Let rise covered for an hour
Brush on the milk for the top wash
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown (from the wash) and light to the touch
Cool on rack
