Kummelweck rolls are Kaiser-style rolls with equal amounts of caraway seed and coarse salt on top. They’re not common if you’re not from Buffalo where Beef on a ‘Weck’ or ‘Wick’ is a local specialty. Here’s how to make them from plain Kaiser rolls.
To make the Wick rolls, preheat oven to 350°F. Make a cornstarch slurry and brush rolls. Sprinkle with caraway seeds and salt, and bake 3 minutes to set seasonings in place.
Season meat with Worcestershire and Kosher salt and form 6 thick patties that are thinner at the center and thicker at the edges for even cooking.
