2. Dissolve the yeast in the water, and add it to the bowl. Knead for about 5 minutes until the starts to come together. Add the butter..
3. Knead for another 5 minutes. The butter should be fully incorporated into the dough, and the surface of the dough should be smooth..

5. Check the dough after 40 minutes. It should look like this..
6. [Resting] Divide the dough into 8 pieces and shape them into smooth balls. Let them rest for 10 minutes. While resting, cover them with a slightly damp tea towel, so they don't dry out..
7. Make sure the dough is shaped into a neat ball. use the ball of your hand to slightly flatten the ball into the proper shape for a kaiser roll. Create crown-shaped imprints in the dough using the side of a fork..
8. Press sesame, poppy, or other seeds into the tops of the dough balls, if you want seeded rolls..
9. [Second proofing] arrange the dough on a parchment lined baking sheet, and let the dough rise in a place that is about 38℃.
