Ingredients:
- 500 g all-purpose flour
- 250 g lukewarm milk
- 1 packet of dry yeast or 20 g fresh yeast
- 70 g sugar
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- 2 whole eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 130 g butter, room temperature
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, milk, yeast, sugar, vanilla sugar, eggs, and salt. Begin to knead. After about 5 minutes of kneading, start incorporating the room temperature butter gradually. Continue kneading for a total of 15 minutes until the dough is extremely sticky. Fold repeatedly until the dough becomes smooth and elastic, resisting the urge to add extra flour.
- Let the Dough Rise: Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until it doubles in size. Once risen, gently deflate and roll it out to a thickness of half a centimeter.
- Form the Buchteln: Cut the dough into smaller pieces. Fill each piece with your desired filling, form into balls, and arrange them on a baking tray. Let them rise for an additional hour.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 190°C (374°F). Bake the Buchteln for about 25 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
Enjoy the luxurious softness and sweet flavors of these world-class Buchteln, a treat that’s sure to bring warmth and joy to any occasion!
