Ingredients:

• 500 g all-purpose flour
• 250 g of lukewarm milk
• 1 sachet of dry yeast or 20 g of fresh yeast
• 70 g of sugar
• 1 sachet of vanilla sugar
• 2 whole eggs
• 1 egg yolk
• 130 g butter, room temperature
• A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, milk, yeast, sugar, vanilla sugar, eggs and salt. Start kneading. After about 5 minutes of kneading, begin to gradually incorporate the room temperature butter. Continue to knead for a total of 15 minutes until the dough is extremely sticky. Fold repeatedly until the dough becomes smooth and elastic, resisting the urge to add additional flour.
2. Let the dough rise: Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in volume. Once lifted, gently deflate it and spread it to a thickness of half a centimeter.
3. Train the Buchteln: Cut the dough into small pieces. Fill each piece with the desired filling, form balls and place them on a baking sheet. Let them rise for another hour.
4. Cook: Preheat your oven to 190°C (374°F). Bake the Buchteln for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Enjoy the luxurious softness and sweet flavors of these world-class Buchteln, a treat that is sure to bring warmth and joy to any occasion!
