For 8 portions

Ingredients

400 g all-purpose flour
115 g granulated sugar
200 ml lukewarm milk
150 g softened butter
3 eggs (2 for the dough, 1 for brushing)
20 g fresh yeast (or 1 packet of dry)
a pinch of salt
250–300 g plum jam (or other to taste)

Preparation procedure

Preparing the starter In a bowl, mix lukewarm milk with the yeast and a tablespoon of sugar. Let stand for 5–10 minutes until the starter has nicely risen.
Mixing the dough Sift the flour into a large bowl. Add the remaining sugar, a pinch of salt, the risen starter, the two beaten eggs and the softened butter cut into cubes. Mix and work into a smooth, non-sticky dough.
First rising Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 60 minutes, until it doubles in volume.
Shaping and filling Divide the risen dough into 15 equally sized pieces. Roll each piece into a disc, place a teaspoon of jam in the center. Bring the edges of the disc together or fold them so that a closed pouch forms, and transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Second rising and brushing Let the buns rise under a cloth for 10 minutes. Meanwhile beat the remaining egg with a little milk and brush the buns with this mixture.
Baking Bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C for about 25–30 minutes until golden.
Finishing After removing from the oven, let the buns cool slightly and, to taste, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
