Description

Jam-filled steamed buns are soft and fluffy treats with a sweet filling inside. In Vienna, these buns are drizzled with melted butter, while throughout Austria they are served with vanilla sauce (see our recipe for how to make it). Regardless, these buns need a generous sprinkle of poppy seeds. It's important that the jam or preserve used for the filling is thick enough so that nothing leaks out during cooking.

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Prepare the necessary ingredients.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the sifted flour, salt, 25 g of sugar, and the zest of half a lemon.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix the yeast, 5 g of sugar, and 120 ml of warm milk. Wait for the yeast to activate, then pour the mixture into the flour.

Step 4

Add one egg, 30 g of melted butter, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, then knead the dough. Cover and place in a warm spot for about an hour.

Step 5

Divide the risen dough into 4 equal portions, shape them into round patties, and place jam in the center of each. Seal tightly, form into a ball, and place on a floured surface seam side down. Cover with a towel and let rest in a warm place for another 30 minutes.
