Grandma’s Buchteln

preparation

1. Prepare all ingredients (measure and weigh) – bring the temperature of the milk to lukewarm – carefully melt the butter (it should be semi-liquid and lukewarm …) put the rapeseed oil in the large roasting pan

Pre-dough

1. Put the flour in a large bowl – make a small hole in the flour and crumble the yeast into it – pour a teaspoon of sugar and 2 tablespoons of the lukewarm milk over it – cover everything with a handful of flour – cover and leave in a warm place until the flour cracks (the yeast is rising …)

Preparation of the yeast dough

1. Mix the rest of the milk (lukewarm!) The semi-liquid butter (lukewarm!) As well as the egg yolks and the remaining sugar in a mixing bowl and add to the flour – finally add the lemon zest of half a lemon and a pinch of salt – mix everything together well
2. Put the yeast dough in the food processor and let it work through thoroughly until no more dough sticks to the edge of the mixing bowl – then take the dough out and form a ball – cover it in a bowl and place it in the lukewarm oven until the dough volume has doubled – then use the again knead lightly by hand

to form bulges

1. roll out the dough on a floured work surface with a rolling pin to a thickness of approx. 1 cm – cut small squares (approx. 7×7 cm) – place a teaspoon of jam in the middle of each piece of dough – pull the corners up and good all around close
2. the bulges should be coated with oil at the bottom and on the sides – so we rub the bulges all around when putting them in the well-oiled pan – (please do not oil the top because it gets egg yolks!) The bulges then close together with the beautiful side put in the baking dish at the top

to bake

1. Mix the egg yolk and milk together and brush the top of the bulges with it before baking – bake for 35 to 45 minutes at 160 degrees Celsius (depends on the stove) – when they are light brown then they are done – if necessary, you can also test with chopsticks make in a place without jam

serve

1. As a sweet main meal, we enjoy them warm with fresh vanilla sauce – but they also taste cold … e.g. to the coffee …
