Keep the rolls small
Four compact pieces cook more reliably than two very large ones. The dough must be baked in the centre, even if the crust already looks brown.

Why this recipe works
No yeast dough, no extra proving time
Quark-oil dough should only be mixed briefly. Long kneading will not make the dough lighter and can make it tough. The basic quantity is four small rolls with a raw weight of about 85 g. They are fresh best and have a finer, denser crumb than yeast dough left to rise for hours. Spreads and toppings are not part of the recipe.

Shape four bread rolls
Divide the dough into four equal pieces, form round with slightly moistened hands and cut the top flat crosswise. Do not dust with large amounts of flour.

3
Bake at a moderate temperature
Preheat for 3 minutes to 160 °C if necessary. Place the rolls in the basket with space between them and bake for about 18 minutes at 160 °C. After 12 minutes, check briefly; the surface should become golden brown, not dark.

Check the centre and let steam escape
Carefully check the underside of a roll: the crumb must not be raw or sticky. In case of doubt, test the temperature of the core with thermometers from 95 to 97 °C and bake longer. Allow to evaporate for about 5 minutes; this short rest period is taken into account in the preparation.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ about Air fryer quark bread rolls
No. Baking powder loosens the dough during baking. A yeast fermentation or warm proving stage is not part of this recipe.
They were usually too large or too fast to be browned outside. With the same piece size longer and if needed, continue baking slightly lower; do not eat raw flour dough.
No. The crumb is deliberately finer and more compact. This is typical of this short quark and oil dough version.
Not in the same quantity without adjustments. The higher free water content can make the dough much softer; the basic version is adapted to lean quark.
