America's Test Kitchen Kaiser Rolls

I've never had or made kaiser rolls before, but I try them out for the first time in this video. I'm using America's Test Kitchen's recipe for the kaiser rolls, and since it's my first time I don't make any up front adjustments - although you'll see I add flour to my dough.
At the end of the video I mention trying a shorter baking time the next go round. Although the recipe says to bake for 30-35 minutes I left mine in around 40-45, waiting for the golden colour to appear. They never browned quite the way I wanted them to, or the way they looked in the picture, but I just took them out when I figured any longer and they'd be rocks.
I'll be the first to say that this whole process was a challenge for me, between the wet dough, shaping the rolls and (foolishly) doing another major baking project the same day. It was great just to be in the kitchen and practice though, so I hope you all enjoy watching me flail around with this roll project anyway.
Lastly, if you've been following along with my vlogs you might be confused about where and when this all happened. It was last year in Nassau, but due to a whole lot of obstacles and then moving I didn't get to edit the footage until now - in Scotland. There are gonna be a few more like this, so heads up! :)

Love your style! I've tried to make Kaiser rolls several times and the external crispness+internal softness were hard to achieve. Your attempt to get the look of the rolls by knotting so loosely I have not seen before, but I think they were too loose and that is why they did not look like real Kaiser rolls. Please continue to post.

Thanks David! Ohh I appreciate the tip about knotting.

Good video but oof... that fork scratching the measuring cup hurts my heart and my ears >.

Thanks Lauren! I'm sorry the fork scratching upset you. I've made a mental note!
