Buchteln are sweet rolls made of enriched yeast dough and baked in a casserole dish. Depending on the region, they are also called "Wuchteln", "Rohrnudeln", or "Ofennudeln". Buchteln are particularly juicy and delicious if you prepare them with a fruity filling. Depending on the season, the Buchteln can be filled with berry, apricot or plum jam. You can bake them with or without filling. They are usually served vanilla sauce, powdered sugar or eaten plain and warm.
Originally, Buchteln come from Bohemian cuisine and are widespread in Bavaria, Austria and South Tyrol. The name comes from the Czech "buchti?ky" or "buchta". In Bavaria, Buchteln are often prepared with sultanas or cranberries. Our favourite is poppy filling.
