Bowl

Whisk

Pour half of the heated milk into a mixing bowl and sprinkle in the fresh yeast.

Dust with a bit of flour (just enough to cover the Dampfl), and cover with a tea towel.

Place the pre-dough in a warm place and let it rise (about 20-30 minutes).

Once the pre-dough is ready, it is time to knead the dough. Put the dough in the food processor equipped with a dough hook and turn it on low.

Now gradually add the rest of the ingredients.

Add the second half of the warmed milk, vanilla sugar, salt, egg yolks, powdered sugar, butter, and flour.

Let the machine knead until a beautiful dough is formed.

Cover the dough with a tea towel and let it rise for another 20 minutes.

In a small pan, melt the butter and spread the pan with the melted butter.

Roll out the dough thinly and cut it into squares (2x2 inch // 5x5 cm).

Place a teaspoon of the desired filling in the middle of the dough pieces.

Once the filling is placed on the dough square, close the open side of the Buchteln by twisting all four corners together.

Place the finished, filled Buchtel, end down, in the prepared pan. It is essential that you place them close together.

Once all the Buchteln are filled and formed (and there is no more room in the pan), brush the Buchteln lying against each other with the melted butter.

Let them rise covered in a warm place for another 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to about 356 °F // 180 °C top/bottom heat.

After the 20 minutes, bake the cakes on the middle rack for about 25 minutes.

Before serving, let cool briefly over and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve with vanilla sauce or apple compote!
