Weggli - Milch Brötchen - Hamburger Brötchen fluffiges und leckeres Rezept

Introduction

In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of making fluffy and delicious Butter Weggli, also known as Hamburger Brötchen or Milchbrötchen, a beloved bread roll in Switzerland. This recipe is perfect for adding a homemade touch to your meals, whether as a side or a base for burgers.

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

To make Butter Weggli, you will need the following ingredients:

• 500g all-purpose flour
• 250ml milk (warm)
• 50g butter (softened)
• 40g sugar
• 10g salt
• 10g dry yeast
• 1 egg (for glazing)

Practical Tip: Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing and rising.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Add the softened butter, flour, and salt to the yeast mixture.
3. Mix until a dough forms. You can use your hands or a stand mixer with a dough hook.

Common Pitfall: Avoid adding salt directly to the yeast mixture, as it can inhibit yeast activation.

Step 3: Knead the Dough

1. Transfer the dough to a floured surface.
2. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
3. Form the dough into a ball.

Practical Tip: If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour while kneading.

Step 4: First Rise

1. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover it with a damp cloth.
2. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 5: Shape the Rolls

1. Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air.
2. Divide the dough into equal portions (approximately 70g each).
3. Shape each portion into a round roll by tucking the edges under to create a smooth surface.

Practical Tip: Ensure the rolls are uniform in size for even baking.

Step 6: Second Rise

1. Place the shaped rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
2. Cover them again with a damp cloth and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes.

Step 7: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) while the rolls are rising.

Step 8: Glaze and Bake

1. Beat the egg and brush it over the tops of the rolls for a golden finish.
2. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Common Pitfall: Keep an eye on the rolls towards the end of baking to prevent over-browning.
