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
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous rolls, Angie! They must smell heavenly when baking. On the "to-make" list! :D
ReplyDeleteOh so comforting! And I'm loving the styling, Angie :) xo
ReplyDeleteYour rolls are absolutely awesome! Wonder if I could substitute the quarks cheese with cream cheese?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful golden rolls, Angie :)
ReplyDeleteWill give it a go soon :) I am into bread baking frenzy at the moment ;)
Healthy and tasteful rolls!
ReplyDeleteHappy 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.
ReplyDeleteVery tempting dinner roll! I would like to have these with curry dip, hehehe...
ReplyDeletecan almost smell the baking of bread :)
ReplyDeleteWow 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!
ReplyDeleteThe rolls look fantastic, with the cheese, they are so tempting..
ReplyDeleteHi Angie, these rolls look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteCould 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!!
ReplyDeleteHow have I never heard of quark??? I need some in my life immediately!
ReplyDelete@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.
ReplyDeleteperfectly baked healthy bread... I love to have for my brunch tmr
ReplyDeleteAngie, 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.
ReplyDeleteYou are the queen of bread Angie! Love these rolls. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a perfect sandwich roll to me. I'm imagining sliced turkey, havarti, and thinly slice sopressata, YUM!
ReplyDeleteQuark rolls? Awesome name :D
ReplyDeleteAnd perfect for a sandwich!

ReplyDeleteThese look wonderful, so crispy and creamy spread with quark, I love the stuff. GG
ReplyDeleteYour 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!

ReplyDeleteWow 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.

ReplyDeleteThese 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
ReplyDeleteQuark 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.
