Prepare the dough for each variant as described in the basic recipe.
Cheese rolls: Put some grated cheese in the dough, form rolls and top with cheese (e.g. Gouda), then bake.
Cheese and ham rolls: Fry the ham cubes briefly and finally knead into the dough, then cover the rolls with cheese, then bake.
Cheese and paprika rolls: Cut the red or yellow paprika into very small cubes and finally knead into the dough, form rolls, then cover the rolls with cheese, then bake.
Caraway or poppy seed rolls: Sprinkle caraway or poppy seeds on the shaped rolls, then bake.
Hamburgers or hot dogs: Shape the rolls for hot dogs or hamburgers into oblong shapes. Use a whole teaspoon of sugar for this.
For sweet rolls, use a tablespoon of sugar. Instead of water, you can also use milk or buttermilk. For delicious raisin rolls, knead the raisins into the dough. Or even form pretzels from the dough.
Fill the rolls with Nutella, jam, plum jam or pieces of peach from the can.
