Buchteln are delicious sweet rolls that come from the Bohemia region. They are made from a special dough that uses yeast, milk, butter, and eggs, making them soft and fluffy. These tasty rolls are usually filled with yummy things like plum jam (called powidl), ground poppy seeds, or a type of soft cheese called quark.
Buchteln are baked in a large pan, which makes them stick together as they cook. They are often served warm, sometimes with vanilla sauce or a dusting of powdered sugar. While mostly enjoyed as a dessert, Buchteln can also be a main dish.
