My immigrant great grandparents who came from Poland brought the Brotchen or what we can Semmel recipe to the states in the 1870's and I grew up with this special hard roll served generally on special occasions ie. Sunday morning before chuch and birthday celebrations. So I had to chuckle when the 2016 Bread winner was featured because it has been such a part of our lives for such a long time. It is the simplicity of the recipe yet has the delicious flavor that guests rave about...particularly when served hot out of the oven with a spread of jam or cheese.
