Those German dinner rolls (Brötchen) are super easy and quick to prepare and they taste the best when served warm. They are very versatile and can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They go great with cheese, sausage as well as jam and butter.
Quark is a fresh cheese of European origin. It usually has much lower fat content (the one I used for the recipe is 0.2%) than cream cheeses and has no salt added. It is soft, un-aged, quite similar to fromage frais, but it is not the same thing as cream cheese or cottage cheese. Quark is an ideal cheese for a low-carb lifestyle and healthy living.

- Melt the coconut oil or butter in a saucepan. Remove from the heat, leave to cool to the room temperature. Beat Quark cheese, egg, salt and melted coconut in a mixing bowl until well blended.
- Combine spelt flour and baking powder. With a hand mixer, stir the flour mixture into the cheese mixture. Turn it out onto a floured work surface and knead for 3 minutes. Cover with a kitchen towel and leave it at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Shape the dough into a roll and divide it into 9 even pieces. Form each piece of dough into a round ball and place on a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Using a sharp knife, slash tops of bread buns with a sharp knife. Brush with milk and sprinkle with some sesame seeds. Cover with a kitchen towel and leave it at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 220C/410F with a baking tray filled with some water at the bottom rack. Place the bread in the center of hot oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 180C/350F and bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown.

They look great! I am sure I wouldn't have a problem to finish them while they are still warm :D
These are gorgeous rolls, Angie! They must smell heavenly when baking. On the "to-make" list! :D
Oh so comforting! And I'm loving the styling, Angie :) xo
Your rolls are absolutely awesome! Wonder if I could substitute the quarks cheese with cream cheese?
Beautiful golden rolls, Angie :)
Will give it a go soon :) I am into bread baking frenzy at the moment ;)
Healthy and tasteful rolls!
Happy Saturday,dear!
Beautiful as always Angie. Love the sesame seeds sprinkled on top. Hope you are having a nice weekend.

@Veronica Ng Though I haven't tried it with cream cheese, I think it will work with any fresh soft cheese. However, the result can be different from the one made with Quark.
Very tempting dinner roll! I would like to have these with curry dip, hehehe...
can almost smell the baking of bread :)
Wow these rolls look fantastic! I love trying different kinds of homemade rolls and I've never made any with cheese before! Have a great weekend!
The rolls look fantastic, with the cheese, they are so tempting..
Hi Angie, these rolls look gorgeous!
Could I possibly substitute fromage frais or even fromage blanc for the quark?...I live in France...Quark is available across the border in Switzerland...but I cannot seem to find it here in my corner of France! The images are perfection by-the-by!!
How have I never heard of quark??? I need some in my life immediately!
@DonnaI believe that you can use fromage blanc instead of Quark though the result might be slightly different, but I am sure they are equally delicious.
perfectly baked healthy bread... I love to have for my brunch tmr
Angie, they look so scrumptious, I want to sweep them off the screen and straight into my bread basket. Luckily, I have some bread in the oven as I type or I might go mad.
You are the queen of bread Angie! Love these rolls. Delicious!
This looks like a perfect sandwich roll to me. I'm imagining sliced turkey, havarti, and thinly slice sopressata, YUM!
Quark rolls? Awesome name :D
And perfect for a sandwich!

I love German rolls and your are making my mouth water. Thanks for sharing Angie!
These look wonderful, so crispy and creamy spread with quark, I love the stuff. GG
Your rolls look beautiful - I thought they would have yeast in them because they look so nice and light, so was surprised to see just baking powder. I've bought quark from Costco's before but wasn't sure what to do with it. Great idea!
Wow, these Whole Spelt Quark Rolls are beautiful. I'm crazy for rolls and buns, any kind.
Hi Angie, I love these healthy rolls. They sure do look great with the cream cheese.
what lovely rolls Angie, you make always amazing and lovely breads!!
Angie, your whole Spelt Quark Rolls is beautiful, is yummy to go with any jam, butter or cheese!
What perfect rolls!! Crusty and slashed beautifully! I would love a couple smeared with butter!
Gorgeous rolls Angie!
Strong coffee, a good meat platter with these rolls and this cheese would make me happy. The rolls warm from the oven is delightful.

Angie, the rolls sound so comforting. love that you've buttered the roll, great styling.
These look like the perfect dinner roll!
Beautiful rolls! I can never get the slashing part right, so I'm envious looking at your perfect slashes. Not sure if I can find quark around here, but I'd love to try it.
Adoring your use of coconut oil with these babies. I am never too sure how to use quark but this seems like a really beautiful way.
Had no idea what Quark was. Thanks for introducing me to a new ingredient and a new cheese - YUM! Beautiful looking rolls and I do agree with Ann - you are the queen of breadmaking!
Beautiful roles!! Who wouldnt love these!!!
Those rolls look fabulous. I'm imagining a big blog of fig jam on top.
All your bakes using quark are simply wonderful, and it makes me curious about quark! Have not seen it before!
I've never seen a bread recipe that uses quark, but it makes a lot of sense as a way to keep the fat down. Have a great week, Angie!
Who needs dinner when you start off with this? Love using coconut oil here.
Fantásticos e deliciosos, adorei!
Kiss, Susana
I bet the quark makes these perfectly fluffy! What cute rolls!
Those look delicious, Angie. I'm in a roll-making mood too. Happens every holiday season!
Wow these are easy rolls, was surprised there was no yeast and long raising time. So nice made with quark too in the dough. Must give this one a shot.
Your bread baking skills always amaze me!
The quark cheese seems so smooth....

The sesame seeds on the rolls give them a special touch, lovely.
Angie, these quark rolls are so amazing...can't believe its made without yeast; would love these delicious rolls for Thanksgiving! (pinned)
I had lunch with a friend last week and we were served quark with our bread...so interesting to hear and see all these things I've never had before.
I would be so happy to have a basket of these on my dinner table!
Dear Angie, These rolls are wonderful and waiting for butter!! and a delicious cup of coffee. Blessings dear. Catherine xo
That crust looks mighty crunchy!
These make an amazing breakfast! You have made them perfectly!
Wow Angie these look perfect. They're beautiful golden brown with the slash right in the center. Reading the recipe it does sound so easy. I would think Whole Foods would have spelt flour. These are on my list to make very soon. I wonder how these would be with my Thanksgiving dinner, and if my family would be mad if I didn't make my popovers! Thanks for sharing
Angie, You always make the best bread. I definitely love to have a piece of these rolls for my breakfast.
Divine wholemeal spelt quark Rolls. Angie. They look stunning & mouthwatering too! Yum Yum Yum.
Oh, I didn't know that Quark cheese was that healthy and definitely I will take it into account. These rolls look yummy!
Angie my dear, these rolls look fantastic. And so healthy!
The rolls look fantastic. I know that I would love to have one at any of the meals of the day.
These look amazing! I miss easy access to quark living in the states.
Those rolls look fantastic! I've never used coconut oil for baking before but it sounds really delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Angie, these rolls look so yummy! I want one for breakfast, another one for lunch, and more of them - for dinner! Just thinking of spreading some cheese over these rolls makes me weak in my knees. :)
The perfect way to start your day! Yummy rolls!
A perfect time to post these wonderful rolls...so perfect with a bowl of soup or simply on their own!
There's that quark again! I wish we could find it here - I'd love to try it. The rolls looks amazing Angie - have a great week.
Angie, again and again I wish I was your neighbor...these are a yummer!!
Oh my - love these no yeast rolls! I am so intimidated by yeast bread making, so rolls like this I find so appealing! Thanks so much for sharing!

Hi Angie, lovely rolls. You're an excellent baker. Love your display, you are very creative.
Best regards.
Those simple rolls look wonderful , Angie ! Lovely color so as the texture :) I wonder what quark tastes like ;D
These rolls look gorgeous, Angie. I've been wanting to try using spelt in some bread baking, so this recipe looks like the perfect place for me to start. Thanks for sharing it.
These rolls would be fabulous for a holiday dinner! They look soooooo good:-) I wish we could find quark here, it almost sounds similar to goat cheese. Hugs, Terra
Quark is one of my favourite cheese varieties too... soft, silky, high quality and not the processed plastic taste of commercial cream cheese :). Love these rolls - so perfect for a holiday table.
Perfect looking and sounding quark rolls Angie. Just the way we buy them in the bakery. People here would go crazy for them if they could buy them every single morning.
Lucen muy deliciosos y bonitos Angie me encanta su textura crujiente,abrazos.
Lovely rolls, Angie, I love the spelt flour in the breads and the seeds ! :)
