Buchteln
Soft yeast rolls from Austria and Bohemia, traditionally filled with plum butter, baked side by side in a pan and dusted with powdered sugar.
- Cakes, cookies, pastries and baked goods
- Czech Republic
Each roll is made by wrapping a small square of enriched yeast dough around a spoonful of powidl, apricot jam or sweet cheese. The rolls are dipped in melted butter and packed close together in a baking dish, where they rise into each other and bake into a golden, pull-apart sheet.
They are often served warm with vanilla sauce. Buchteln are a classic of Viennese and Czech home cooking and appear in many children's stories from the region.
