Buchteln

Buchteln are delectable sweet rolls made from yeast dough, typically filled with jam, ground poppy seeds, or curd. These delightful treats are baked together in a large pan, which causes them to stick together as they cook. Traditionally, Buchteln are filled with plum Powidl jam and often receive a finishing touch of vanilla sauce or a dusting of powdered sugar. They can be enjoyed warm and plain, served as a dessert, or even as a main dish.

Originating from Bohemia, Buchteln have become a beloved part of many European cuisines, including Austrian, Slovak, Slovenian, and Hungarian. In Bavaria, they are known as Rohrnudeln. In Slovenia, they are called buhteljni, while in Serbia, they go by buhtle or buhtla. Hungarians refer to them as bukta, in Kajkavian they are known as buhtli, in Croatian as buhtle, in Polish as buchta, and in Czech as buchta or buchtička. In Lombardy, you might hear them called Buten.

Whether you call them Buchteln, Rohrnudeln, or any other name, these sweet rolls are a delightful treat enjoyed by many!
