Tips for Success with Basement French
When measuring the flour, I can recommend adding the flour to the deciliter measure instead of sifting through the flour bag.
If you scoop, you’ll probably end up with too much flour, which can lead to a dry dough.
First add 6 dl wheat flour and then dl to dl until you get a dough that is easy to work with. It should not be too sticky or too dry.
Use the warm flour liquid with your fingertip
In order to be successful in cellar francs, it is important that the temperature of the dough liquid (mixed with yeast) is finger warm (37-38 degrees) and not cold or hot.
If the dough liquid is too hot, the yeast can die, and if it is too cold, the dough will take longer to rise.
To check the temperature, I recommend using a kitchen thermometer.
spread the buns on a baking sheet
When placing the rolls on the tray, be sure to leave a few centimeters in between, as they will expand when lifted.
All you have to do is place 10-12 rolls on a normal-sized baking sheet and bake in batches. Bake the plates one at a time in the middle of the oven until they have acquired a little color.

French cellar. more
Källerfranceska are nice and simple breakfast buns to bake at home. They are made from flour, yeast, water, milk, sugar or honey, butter, eggs and salt.
In my recipe, I also use sifted rye, which contains about 60-65% wheat flour and 35-40% rye flour. Rye flour makes buns very tasty and is also rich in fiber.
What can you serve basement fries with?
Källarfranska is a good breakfast bread to serve with butter, cheese, marmalade or e.g. thigh.
They are also good to serve with a little butter as a nice soup or stew.
Can the buns be frozen?
It’s going well! I always let them cool under a kitchen towel, save some to eat the same day and freeze the rest.
I think they are just as good freshly baked as they are thawed from the freezer. Heat the buns in the oven on low heat.
