Instructions
Add the dry ingredients and quark to the yeast water and knead the dough for about 10 minutes.
Note: It’s completely normal if the dough is still slightly sticky!
Let the rolls rest again for 30–45 minutes, covered, and preheat the oven to 230°C (top/bottom heat).
Bake the rolls for about 10 minutes on the middle rack. Then reduce the temperature to 200°C and bake for another 8–12 minutes. When they turn golden brown on top, they’re done.
Tip: Place an ovenproof bowl with hot water inside the oven to create steam!
Let the rolls cool on a rack and enjoy them with your favorite toppings!
If you want a crisp crust, briefly cover the rolls with a damp cloth.

Baking your own protein rolls
Our quark rolls are made with carefully selected ingredients:
- contain fiber from the seeds and grains
- contain protein from the protein powder and quark
- contain unsaturated fatty acids from the seeds and grains
Tip: You can also freeze the protein rolls. They’ll stay fresh for a long time, and you can thaw them when needed. Alternatively, store them in an airtight container – they’ll keep for several days at room temperature. If they get a bit dry, sprinkle with water and reheat briefly in the oven – they’ll be as good as new!
Variations
Plain protein rolls too boring? Try something new! With this easy recipe, you can also make sweet rolls or pizza-style protein rolls.
Sweet rolls: Replace the neutral protein powder with chocolate protein powder or banana protein powder and add more sweetness. Bake as usual, just skip the toppings.
Pizza rolls: Skip the seeds and add Italian herbs to the dough instead. Bake the protein rolls as usual. Once cooled, slice them open and top like a pizza with tomato sauce, mushrooms, onions, (vegan) cheese, and whatever you like. Bake again at 180°C (fan) on a high rack until the cheese has melted.
