About the dish

Schusterjunge (lit. cobbler's apprentice) is a traditional bread roll originating from Berlin. The bread rolls are usually made with a combination of rye flour, wheat flour, yeast or baking powder, salt, caraway seeds, and beer. The flours are mixed with yeast or baking powder, salt, and caraway seeds. Beer is added gradually, and the smooth dough is then shaped into small round rolls. The dough is dipped in caraway seeds and coarse salt before the rye rolls are baked until brown.
