aiser rolls, also called Vienna rolls or hard rolls, are crusty, round yeast raised rolls that originated in Austria. The word ‘kaiser’ means emperor in German, and there is a belief that they got the name after Emperor (Kaiser) Franz Joseph I of Austria who lived at the turn of 19th and 20th century. Kaiser rolls are traditionally made without any topping; however, these days, you can find them topped with poppy seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds or flax seeds. The signature shape is obtained by using a special stamp that is impressed into the shaped roll.
