  • 100 g sugar
  • 1 egg and white of 1 egg
  • approx. 480 g flour
  • 20 g fresh yeast
  • vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp salt

for the crumbs

  • 10 g butter (room temperature)
  • 10 g sugar
  • approx. 20 g flour
  • 8 g vanilla sugar

for the filling

  • approx. 120 g solid jam (room temperature)

for coating

  • yolk of 1 egg (room temperature)
  • 1 tbsp water (room temperature)

Instructions

Preparation of the dough

  • Pour lukewarm milk into a large mixing bowl and dissolve in it 1 tablespoon of sugar (from the total amount indicated) and fresh yeast.
  • Add 80 g of flour, mix until homogeneous, cover with a towel and let the pre-dough rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.
  • Mix together egg and egg white, remaining sugar, soft butter, vanilla and salt, add the mixture to the pre-dough and stir until homogeneous.
  • Add flour in portions and knead into a very soft dough. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, cover it with a towel and let it rise in a warm place for 50 minutes. Then knead it briefly and let it rise for another 40 minutes.
  • Knead the dough again briefly and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Form each piece of dough into a ball, spread the balls on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, leaving enough space between them, and let them rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.

Preparation of the crumbs

  • Mix softened butter, sugar and vanilla sugar.
  • Add flour in batches and mix into fine crumbs.

Preparation of the buns

  • Roll your index finger in flour and use it to make dimples of approx. Ø 1.5 - 2 cm in the center of each dough ball, pressing the dough down to the bottom with your finger several times to form a narrow hole.
  • Mix egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of water and brush the buns with it, except for the indentations inside.
  • Sprinkle the buns generously with the crumbs.
  • Now fill the cavities in each bun with jam by putting about 1 teaspoon of jam in each hole.
  • Bake the sweet buns in a preheated oven at 190 °C top and bottom heat for about 15 minutes.

Notes

  • Instead of fresh yeast you can use dry yeast. You will need 7 g of it for the recipe.
  • Milk for the yeast dough must be lukewarm. All other ingredients must be at room temperature.
  • To give the yeast dough the right consistency, add the last portion of flour little by little. The amount of flour indicated may vary. The dough must be very soft. It must not be too firm, but not mushy either.
  • The crumbs must be fine, not too dry and not too greasy. To get the right consistency, add flour little by little. The amount of flour indicated may vary.
  • Jam for filling the buns must be room-warm and have a firm consistency.
