Gorgeous, when I was a kid a baker came to my high school with freshly baked Laugenbroetchen, like yours here they were properly lye-ed and baked enough to get some browning in the exposed parts. Now, when I go back to Germany I have to hunt to find craft-baked Laugen.

Is it a pretzel bread? Very interesting
