    Homemade German Dinner Rolls - Partybrötchen

    These delicious homemade dinner rolls are a great hit in our family. It´s a classic favorite that I always like to make whenever we have soups or stews.

    How Do You Call These German Dinner Rolls

    These soft rolls are called “Partybrötchen” (party buns) or “Brötchensonne” (bun sun). I like the look of it and they taste even better. They are heavenly fluffy, moist and so good. Let me show you how to make them.

    Ingredients

    Flour

    I use all-purpose flour for this recipe but you could use spelt flour or whole wheat flour for this recipe too. But you might have to adjust the liquid a bit.

    Buttermilk

    The buttermilk is the secret ingredient in that recipe. It makes the buns so moist and fluffy.
    If you don´t have buttermilk on hand you can use milk. Just add a about 1 tsp. of lemon juice to the milk and let it sit for about 15 min. before you use it.

    Tip

    This recipe is also great for freezing. Just bake the rolls for about 10 min. Allow them to cool completely, add to freezer bag and store up to 3 months in the freezer. Whenever you are in the mood for a freshly baked roll, just remove a roll from the bag, sprinkle with a bit of water and bake the frozen roll for about 5 to 10 min. in a 325 F preheated oven.
