Salzstangerl - Austrian Bread Recipes - TheBreadSheBakes

Salzstangerl are my personal favourite Austrian bread rolls. Making Salzstangerl at home is easier than you might think. Give it a try!

Ingredients

12 12 Salzstangerl rolls

Add 100ml of the lukewarm milk, sugar, yeast and 2 tablespoons of flour into a large bowl and mix together. Don’t add the salt or butter at this stage!
Leave to rest in a warm place until the volume has doubled.
Add the remaining ingredients to make the dough and leave to rest again.
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Divide the dough into 12 equal parts.
Use your palms to form a ball for each of the parts.
Lightly dust a work surface with flour.
Roll out each dough ball into a very flat oval shape.
Hold onto the bottom part of the oval shape with your left hand while rolling the dough from the top part towards the bottom part. The more you squeeze the dough with your right hand while rolling, the longer the Salzstangerl will be.
Put all the pieces onto baking paper onto a baking tray.
Cover with a clean kitchen towel and leave to rest (and grow) in a warm place for 15 mins.
Spray with water and sprinkle with sea salt and caraway seeds.
Bake on the middle shelve of the oven for approximately 15-20 mins.
Cool on a wire rack.
