Does anyone know if there is a place to order Kimmelweck Rolls on-line? I've
been looking and I haven't been able to find any place. I went back to
Buffalo to visit family and had a "Beef on Weck" and had forgotten how good
they are, and would like to make them here in Rhode Island. Any assistance
would be greatly appreciated!

I had to google to see what they were. Oh, man those look good!

Did you discover this website?

It has a recipe for

KIMMELWECK ROLLS

Ingedients:

1/4 cup caraway seeds
1/4 cup coarse salt
2 envelopes active dry yeast
5 cups (about) flour
2 tsp. salt
2 1/2 tbsp. sugar
1/3 cup oil
2/3 cup milk
3/4 cup warm water

2eggs

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Combine caraway seeds and coarse salt in a small bowl; mix well.
Set aside.

In a large mixer bowl, combine yeast,
2 cups of the flour, salt, oil, milk and water.
Mix well at medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally.

Add eggs and beat another minute,
adding as much flour as the mixer will take
without dough becoming too heavy to mix.
By hand, stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.

Turn onto a floured board with remainder of the flour.
Knead until smooth and elastic.
Place in large greased bowl, turning to grease top.
Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
Punch down and knead for 2 minutes on a floured board.

To shape into rolls, cut dough into 24 pieces.
Tuck edges of each piece under and shape into flat, round rolls.
With a sharp kitchen knife, cut four evenly spaced,
shallow arcs in each roll from the center to the edges,
pressing at center with your thumb to make an indentation
(the pinwheel pattern resembles a Kaiser roll).

Sprinkle tops with the caraway-salt mixture.
Transfer to baking sheets and cover.
Let rise until doubled in bulk, or refrigerate overnight.

To bake, place in a humid oven
(arrange a heat-proof pan of water on oven bottom).
Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, until brown.
Makes 2 dozen rolls.

Ham and eggs.
A day's work for the chicken, a lifetime commitment for the pig.

Did you try googling for "Kimmelweck Rolls" to see what turns up? I just
did and I found several recipes. Since the recipe is fairly easy and the
ingredients are inexpensive, you can probably make your own Kimmelweck
Rolls if you can't find them online.

Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't buy rolls online.

John; here is what I do since I know it is a lost cause trying to find
them here in southern IL: I buy the best bakery kaiser rolls that I can
find; brush them with an egg wash, then sprinkle with some coarse salt
and caraway seeds; heat in a 375 oven until hot. NOT the real deal but
pretty darn close!

The store versions can be pretty lame too since so many places insist on
packaging bread products in plastic bags.

Late last night I found this link,
http://whatscookingamerica.net/Sandwich/BeefOnWeck.htm
and am in the process of trying it out. Thanks for all the information and
advice. My wife has never had it, and is excited to try. I just hope they
come out as good as the "real thing".

Thanks again for all the assistance!

A quick search brought up this recipe:

If price is no object, you can order the whole Beef on Weck package from the
following:

http://www.andersonscustard.com/mailorder.html

If you don't want to order, but don't want to make your own, maybe you could
approach the owner of a small local bakery and ask them to make a batch for
you. Just a suggestion.

Well, I made them last week using the linked recipe. I was skeptical, but to
be honest, they were as good or better than they were in my last trip to
Buffalo! I will definitely be making them again!
