(Reconstructed / classic proportions â the source had only an ingredient list and a linked video, with no written method.) Combine the bread flour, instant dry yeast, sourdough extract (may skip), and salt. Add the warm water and knead into a smooth, elastic dough. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Divide into 6â8 pieces, shape into balls and form the classic Kaiser knot (or press with a Kaiser stamp). Place on a lined tray, cover and proof about 30 minutes. Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle generously with sesame seeds. Bake in a preheated oven at about 220°C until golden, roughly 15â20 minutes.
