Homemade Kaiser Rolls

These yeast breads are wonderful for sandwiches, hamburgers, or for just plain eating. The rolls' decorative shape comes from tying strands of dough into knots. You can use the same knot-technic for any roll. Ingredients plus oven time and temperature are listed below (click "show more"):
