Directions
- Here's the kimmelweck ("weck") recipe, from "Real American Food" by the Sterns.
- Mix yeast with 1/2 C of the potato water and sugar.
- Combine mashed potatoes, remaining C of potato water, lowfat milk, butter, salt, and caraway seeds. When yeast mix is foamy, stir it in. Add in 7 C of the flour, c. by c., stirring till dough comes away from bowl. Turn out onto a floured board and let rest while you clean and butter bowl.
- Knead dough 10 min, adding flour if necessary to create a smooth dough.
- Return to bowl and roll dough around to coat it with butter. Cover and let rise in a hot place till double in bulk, about 2 hrs.
- Punch down dough, knead again 1-2 min. Roll out and divide into 12 pcs. Form each piece into a smooth ball. Then flatten ball slightly so which it's roll-shaped. Set 2 inches appart on lightly greased cookie sheet.
- Cover loosely with towel and let rise till double in bulk, less than 1 hour.
- Preheat over to 375 deg. Brush rolls with egg white mix and sprinkle with desired amount of coarse salt [it should be a lot of salt, not just a few grains] and caraway seeds. Bake 15 min. Reduce heat to 325 deg and bake 15-20 min more, till rolls are medium brown. Remove from oven and cold on rack.
