Author Notes
Rohrnudeln is a traditional sweet dish from Germany. Before baking the small buns side by side in the oven each one is filled with half a plum and a piece of sugar. After baking for about half an hour the buns are sprinkled with icing sugar. They should be eaten still warm. —Christine
Ingredients
-
250 grams
all-purpose flour
-
16 grams
fresh yeast
-
100-150 milliliters
milk, lukewarm
-
1
egg
-
30 grams
sugar
-
35 grams
melted butter, lukewarm
-
butter for greasing the baking tin + some melted butter for brushing the buns
-
1 pinch
salt
-
4-5
plums, depending on size halved or quartered
-
8 pieces
cube sugar
Directions
-
Sift flour into a bowl and make a well in the center. Stir the yeast with 2 tbsp. of warm milk until it has dissolved, pour into the well, sprinkle with a little flour from the edges and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
-
Add remaining ingredients (except plums and cube sugar) and knead to a smooth dough. Cover the bowl and let the dough sit for 1-2 hours at a warm place until doubled in size. Afterwards knead and let sit again for a few minutes to let the dough relax.
-
Divide dough into 8 equal pieces, shape into small balls and flatten. Place 2 halved or quartered plums and a piece of cube sugar between them on the flat dough and fold like a little package. Place the buns side by side with the folded sides facing downward into a greased and sugared oven dish. Let them sit one last time for 30 minutes.
-
Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Brush the buns with melted butter and bake for 25-30 minutes until the surface is slightly browned. Sprinkle with icing sugar and serve immediately (with vanilla sauce or enjoy them as they are).
