Buchteln with Plum Filling

Ingredients

  • 500 g plain flour (Type 405)
  • 1 cube fresh yeast (42 g)
  • 60 g sugar
  • 250 ml lukewarm milk
  • 60 g soft butter
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • Zest of 1/2 organic lemon
  • 1 jar FRUCHTSTOFF Plum (200 g)
  • 80 g melted butter, for brushing
  • Icing sugar for dusting
  • Butter for the tin

Method

  1. Put the flour into a bowl, mix the yeast with 1 tbsp sugar and a little lukewarm milk, then leave to rise in a well for 10 minutes.
  2. Add the remaining sugar, remaining milk, soft butter, egg yolk, salt and lemon zest, then knead into a smooth, supple dough.
  3. Cover the dough and leave to rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes, until clearly risen.
  4. Grease a baking dish or a 26 cm springform tin. Stir FRUCHTSTOFF Plum until smooth.
  5. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Flatten each piece, place a teaspoon of plum in the centre, fold the edges over the filling and seal firmly.
  6. Place the buns seam-side down in the tin, brush with melted butter and leave to rise for a further 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat the oven to 180°C top/bottom heat and bake the buns for about 30 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Dust with icing sugar while warm and serve with vanilla sauce, if you like.

Tip: When filling, don't spread the jam right to the edge, so the buns seal properly.
