Ingredients

Yeast starter:

Dough:

Additionally:

favorite filling: marmalade, jam, Nutella, poppy seeds, nuts, quark…

Preparation procedure

  • Preparing the starter Pour warm milk into a small bowl, add the sugar, crumble the yeast and stir in a little flour to form a porridge-like mixture. Let the starter rise in a warm place for 10–15 minutes.
  • Kneading the dough In a bowl mix the flour, sugar, salt, vanilla sugar and lemon zest. Add the risen starter, melted butter, egg and gradually pour in the warm milk. Work into a smooth, non-sticky and elastic dough. Well-kneaded dough will come away from your hand and won't tear. Cover with a cloth and let rise until doubled in volume (approx. 45–60 minutes).
  • Shaping the buns From the risen dough make 15 equally sized pieces. Flatten each into a patty shape, fill with your favorite filling and seal. Place the shaped buns seam-side down on a greased baking sheet. Brush with oil and let rise for another 10–15 minutes.
  • Baking Sprinkle the buns with powdered sugar and place into an oven preheated to 160 °C. Bake for approximately 30 minutes until golden. After baking let cool slightly and optionally dust with sugar again.

Total preparation time: approx. 2 hours (including rising)

Number of servings: approx. 15 buns
