You may have potted these gorgeous rolls at a local fresh bakery, but if you have never tried these twisted-top rolls, you truly are missing out. Check out some of the things to keep in mind about kaiser rolls from a fresh bread bakery. 

Custom kaiser rolls can be ordered with a choice of toppings.

If you come across a bakery that has kaiser rolls, make sure you check and see if they do custom roll and bread orders. The majority of fresh bread bakeries do offer custom orders, but the best thing about this when it comes to ordering fresh bread is the fact that you can get your preference of toppings. Some of the toppings you may want to try baked right into the top crust of the bed include the following:

• Everything topping (a mix of poppy, dehydrated onions, sesame, dried garlic, and coarse salt)
• Poppy seeds 
• Sesame seeds 
• Coarse cornmeal 
• Rosemary 

These toppings can inject entirely new flavors into your freshly baked bread and make way for a lot of excellent pairing options. For example, everything-topped kaiser rolls can be really good with smoked meats and cheeses. 

Kaiser rolls or buns are excellent for making sandwiches with a twist.

A lot of people simply serve kaiser rolls with dinner or breakfast, but these rolls can just as easily be sliced and paired with layers of sliced meat, cheese, and veggies to make some of the best sandwiches ever. The rolls are not too crusty and just fluffy enough to make a really good sandwich even more filling than what it is with regular bread. If you are serving sandwiches for lunch and want things to be a little more upscale and flavorful, picking up some fresh kaiser rolls can really do the trick. 

Crisping kaiser rolls even further is a possibility once you get them home. 

Most of the time, when you get kaiser buns from the bakery, they will have a nice golden crust. However, if you do not use the rolls right away, they will get a bit softer as they sit. If you prefer your fresh bread to have a bit of a crisper crust, you can achieve this at home even if you have had your rolls for a few days. Simply brush the tops of the buns with a bit of butter and stick them in a preheated oven for a few minutes until the crust is just a bit more crispy.
