Something sweet to treat yourself with from the kitchens of  faydyn

******************************

I fell in love with these when i was 7 years old, my family visited my Omi and Opa (grandparents) in Mainz Germany. Do not be deceived these are not hard to make, and they are REALLY filling. They are absolutely ENORMOUS...

yields 4

you will need:
500 grams all purpose flour
1/4 liter warm (not hot) milk
50 grams melted butter
3 egg whites
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/8 tsp active dry yeast
a pinch of salt
1/4 cup of Lekvar, canned plums mashed into a paste, or 4 plums cooked into a compote

for topping
Ground poppy-seeds or toasted bread crumbs
brown butter
sugar

start by dissolving the yeast in the warm milk and sugar let stand 5 minutes

add melted butter to yeast mixture

combine flour and salt add egg whites and add yeast mixture
mix to obtain a smooth and elastic dough.

let rise for one hour

roll/stretch into a 20 centimeter (8 inch) square
cut into four 10 centimeter (4 inch square)

spoon 3 tbs of plums onto each square and roll up into a seamless bun

half fill a large pot with water and bring to a slight boil (not a full rolling boil) carefully add knodel cover and simmer for 25 minutes (do not remove cover)

remove from pot with a slotted spoon and let drain

top with browned butter, poppy seeds and sugar
(I used breadcrumbs because I didn't have poppy seeds)

really good and extremely filling

on a side note I wonder if this is the same dough used for making Bao *ponders*


happy cooking
