Sweet Broetchen

[CLOWN TICKLE]

Tasted some loveley bread rolls that had a sweet outer surface in Germany, any idea

[bellasasha]

most sweet bread rolls have an apricot jam glaze or a topping of icing sugar with loads of water so it doesnt discolour the top of the rolls... not sure if its what u are looking for tho but i hope it helps

They might be glazed with a milk/sugar mixture.
That's what I use for some sweet rolls.

Or just milk without the sugar for my parents, or they'll bitch that it's too sweet...

:o)

It depends on the dough. If it was a rye/wheat mix dough, brushing the bread with water as soon as it comes out of the oven froms a dextrose, which your tongue will sense as slightly sweet. Some bakeries may use a sugar solution.

Sweet yeast dough breads/rolls are usually just glazed with eggwash (pure egg whisked, fermented with a little salt). Again some bakeries add sugar to the eggwash to get a sweet glaze.

If you see a sugar crust on them then it's just a fondant glaze. Hope that helps.
