Cook time: 110 min
Total time: 110 min
Yield: 6
Ingredients: 50 g fresh yeast; 1 teaspoon granulated sugar; 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour; ½ cup lukewarm milk; 500 g semi-coarse wheat flour; 100 g melted and cooled butter; ½ cup granulated sugar; ½ cup lukewarm milk; 2 eggs; a pinch of salt; jam or preserves (approx. 250–300 g); 1 egg for brushing before baking; (optional) melted butter for brushing after baking

Preparation procedure

Starter (10 min) Crumble the yeast into a bowl, add the sugar, a tablespoon of flour and the lukewarm milk. Stir and leave in a warm place to rise (the surface will foam).
Dough (10 min) Put the flour, sugar and salt into a bowl. Add the eggs, risen starter, lukewarm milk and melted butter. Work into a smooth, elastic dough (by hand or with dough hooks).
First rise (45 min) Cover the bowl and let the dough rise until it doubles in volume.
Shaping (15 min) Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface, divide into 12 pieces. Flatten each piece, place a teaspoon of jam in the middle, carefully seal with the seam down and shape into a bun.
Final proofing (10–15 min) Place the buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or into a greased baking dish) close to each other. Loosely cover and let rise another 10–15 minutes. Brush with beaten egg.
Baking (20–25 min) Bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C until golden, approximately 20–25 minutes. After removing from the oven, you can lightly brush the surface with melted butter for shine and moistness.

Tip: Choose a thick filling so it doesn’t leak during baking. Plum butter, curd cheese, poppy seeds or nuts are also great.
