    Have you ever heard of “Buchteln”? I think they are not well known outside of Germany and Austria. Even in Germany only the south really knows what it means…

    One other name is “Ofennudeln” – even though they do not look like noodles (Nudeln) at all :P Well.. who cares. If you have eaten your first one, you will remember the name of these yeast dumplings for sure! I made them today with a rhubarb ginger compote and delicious homemade vanilla sauce! So good!

    There is one other dish you can find in kitchens all over Germany and it is called “Dampfnudeln” – this is basically the same dish, only the preparation is a bit different.

    “Buchteln” are a typical Bohemian dish – I am talking about the region in the middle of Europe, not the “lifestyle” :P A long time ago this kind of yeast dumplings made their way into German and Austrian kitchens. No wonder – these little fellas are soo good! In Austria, you can get them often with a prune filling called “Powidl”, with curd cheese (Topfen or Quark) or apricot marmalade called “Marillenmarmelade”… yeah, the people from Austria use some funny words sometimes :P
    Just kidding…

    The “Buchteln” I made today have a filling made with rhubarb and ginger. Sour meets sweet meets spicy ;) Extremely delicious! If you want, you can use the filling as a spread on your bread rolls for breakfast or eat it with a bowl of ice cream. It even works well with meat… nice, right?

    Anyways. My inspiration for these “Buchteln” today is the recipe from a blogger colleague – Kevin from Law of Baking. It is one of many awesome recipes from his (almost) new baking book “Süßes Brot” which means “Sweet bread”. He is an expert for recipes with yeast dough. If you take a look at his book or his blog, you will see ;) You can find the book on Amazon* for example. Take a look, really nice recipes in there ;)

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Wash the rhubarb for the compote and cut off the ends. You can also peel the rhubarb, but it’s actually not necessary. Cut into small pieces and add together with the sugar to a small pot. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until soft. Take off the heat. Peel the ginger, grind finely and mix with the rhubarb. If you want to store the compote longer, fill it still hot into glass jars and close immediately. If you plan to eat it on the same day, you can let it cool down in the pot.

    2. For the dumplings add the dry yeast with a teaspoon of the sugar to the lukewarm milk and mix until dissolved. Let sit for about 6-8 minutes.

    3. Add the flour, the remaining sugar, and salt to a large bowl and mix. Add the egg, butter, vanilla extract and yeast-milk and knead for about 5-6 minutes until you get a nice smooth dough. If the dough is too sticky, add some more flour. Cover the bowl and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.

    4. Grease a baking tin with a size of about 10×6 inches (25x16cm)* well and set aside. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and make balls out of it. Flatten the balls and press into one of your hands to get space for the filling. Add about a teaspoon of the compote on top of the dough, pull the edges over the filling and seal the dumpling by pressing the edges together. Place in the baking tin, the side that has been pressed together, should face downwards. Cover the dumplings and let rise for 30 minutes more.

    5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Brush the dumplings with the melted butter and bake for 25 minutes in the lower third of the oven until golden brown. Take out of the oven and let cool down in the baking tin. Serve with vanilla custard and the rhubarb compote.

    1. Für das Kompott den Rhabarber waschen und die Enden abschneiden. Wem es lieber ist, kann den Rhabarber auch schälen. In kleine Stücke schneiden und dann mit dem Zucker in etwa 10-15 Minuten zu einem weichen Kompott einkochen lassen. Vom Herd nehmen. Den Ingwer schälen, fein reiben und unter das Kompott rühren. Soll das Kompott länger aufbewahrt werden, noch heiß in saubere Einmachgläser füllen und verschließen, ansonsten einfach abkühlen lassen.

    2. Für die Buchteln die Trockenhefe mit einem Teelöffel vom Zucker in der lauwarmen Milch auflösen und für 6-8 Minuten zur Seite stellen und gehen lassen.

    3. Das Mehl mit dem restlichen Zucker und Salz in eine große Schüssel geben. Das Ei, weiche Butter, Vanille Extrakt und die Hefemilch zugeben und alles für 5-6 Minuten zu einem glatten Teig verkneten. Sollte der Teig zu klebrig sein, noch etwas mehr Mehl zugeben. Die Schüssel abdecken und an einem warmen Ort für etwa 1 Stunde gehen lassen.

    4. Eine Auflaufform mit ca. 25x16cm (about 10×6 inches)* gut einfetten. Den Teig in 8 Portionen teilen und Kugeln formen. Diese Kugeln in der Handfläche plattdrücken und in die Mitte dieser Teigportion etwa 1 Teelöffel des Kompotts platzieren. Die Teigränder über die Füllung ziehen und gut verschließen. Die Buchteln mit der glatten Seite nach Oben in die Form setzen, noch einmal abdecken und für weitere 30 Minuten gehen lassen.

    5. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) vorheizen. Die Buchteln mit der geschmolzenen Butter bestreichen und dann für 25 Minuten im unteren Drittel des Ofens backen, bis die eine goldene Farbe bekommen haben. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und in der Form abkühlen lassen. Mit Vanillesoße und dem restlichen Kompott servieren.

      Hallo! Ist da ein Link zum Rezept fuer die Vanillesosse? Ich seh es leider nicht. Falls ich keinen Rhabarber finde (lebe in Arizona, da ist nie die richtige Jahreszeit), kannst du eventuell eine Alternative zum Rhabarberkompott empfehlen? Vielen Dank! Bis jetzt habe ich ja nur mitgelesen, demnaechst werde ich aber auch etwas backen.
