At a glance
You're making aromatic, crusty rolls featuring toasted fennel and caraway seeds that take about two hours from start to finish, with the main time spent on two rising periods. The rolls require shaping and scoring with a razor blade, which gives them that beautiful bakery-quality appearance, and they pair wonderfully with headcheese.

Toast the spices
In a dry pan, toast the fennel and caraway seeds for about one to two minutes. They'll release a wonderful aroma. Then crush them in a mortar and pestle. I love that smell the moment I start crushing the spices - it's gorgeous.
