>this is only a thing in america and germany

It's an Austrian roll in the first place (it's the Austrian Kaiser, not the German one, in the name after all - specifically Franz Joseph I), so at the very least it's a thing in Austria and the former areas of the Habsburg monarchy.

It's very popular here in southern Poland for instance.

Bonglanders need not apply. It's not our fault your queen got buttmad jelly because there's no such thing as a queen roll and banned the glorious Kaiser from your shores.

I never understood why these rolls are popular. They're always dry and nasty and the size is neither small enough nor big enough, but perfectly just wrong.

It's like it was designed to be hated.

Several types of salami around here have that exact radius, making the kaiser roll the perfect sandwich roll.

>>4766736
I thought you polacks hate germans

>>4766767
Austria is not Germany.

I have exactly opposite feelings. I've seen some fucked up stamped Kaiser rolls in my time, but look at the roll in OP pic. I am attracted to that roll in every sense of the word, it's so perfect. I would marry it and make love to it, have kids with it and grow old together.

Well, I would do all that if it wasn't so enticing. I can never resist eating it before proposing so my star-crossed romance is doomed.

My favorite rolls are Amaroso Rolls

Kummelweck is the second best.

Bread is fucking bread. Your choices are what cereal it's made of and how crispy you like it on the outside.

Obvious troll is obvious.

I like them when they're looking more "torn up", keeps them crunchier

>>4766714
I've always found those very boring. I don't know what the deal is.

Trying to make some of these, forgot how fucking terrible I am at making bread.

I do really like them though, my oma makes then 100x better than I can.

I know they're not really essential, but a kaiser without poppy seed or sesame or onion or something feels off.

like, might as well use slices of white bread.

I've been to the US for a couple of months and I've mostly seen stuff similar to pic related (although usually with poppies or other stuff) sold as Kaiser rolls. The crust pattern was very superficial and thoroughly unsatisfying - it seemed little more than cosmetic when its entire point is to make the crust nice and crunchy. In that I agree with >>4768187, although I would say the roll in OP pic looks quite good in that regard, more or less how I'd get my rolls back home in St. Pölten. And yes, back in Austria they're plain most of the time.

That's our shit-tier bread, with crust nearly indistinguishable from the interior except in color. Judging by what grocer's stock, shit-tier is preferred by 95+% of Americans. The normal American reaction upon touching normal bread with a crisp crust is that it's stale and inedible.

Bread is utter poverty tier food and you should feel terrible for enjoying it.

Kaiser rolls don't even come close the the awesomeness of an onion roll.

Char siu bao laugh at your shitty eurobuns

Fuck you, nerds.

Your bread has mold on it.

>>4768953
Your brain has mold on it. Those are poppy seeds.

>>4768938
Your ching chong roll doesn't even have a crust.

I like tiger rolls.

>>4768982
it doesn't need a crust amerifag

Kaiser roll is second best, plain German rolls are god tier.
They are made of the same dough, just a little bit bigger, and in different shapes. Sometimes they have sesame or poppy seeds sprinkled on top. They are perfect for any type of sandwich, as a quick snack or as a side to soups and stews.

Get her to teach you! It's not rocket science, just need to pay attention to a few key things for better/great results.

Think of it this way: if uneducated peasants could make good bread, you can too.

>>4769235
Don't you dare say anything is better than char siu bao, just don't.
