My Hard Rolls for Bratwurst image

From a forum discussion on TheFreshLoaf.com and other sources these hard rolls are very good with brats. Shape them round and leave off the egg wash for a Brochen (German Hard Rolls) or shape them round with the egg wash for a NY style hard roll.

Overall, I thought these rolls were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

These rolls were a bit too brown for my liking. I think I should have taken them out of the oven a few minutes earlier.

I had trouble getting the rolls to rise. I think I might have used too much yeast.

These rolls were a bit too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, fluffier roll.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a little more salt. I found the rolls to be a bit bland.

I love the flavor of these rolls. They're slightly sweet and have a hint of butteriness.

These rolls are so versatile. I've used them for bratwurst, pulled pork, and even chicken parmesan sandwiches.

I've made these rolls several times now and they're always a success. They're perfect for sandwiches, burgers, or just eating on their own.

I was so impressed with how easy these rolls were to make. I'm not a very experienced baker, but I was able to follow the recipe easily and the rolls turned out perfectly.

These hard rolls were the perfect accompaniment to my bratwurst! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and they held up well to the juicy sausage.
