Sweet Milkbuns or Einback

Here in Hesse they are called Reiheweck (buns in a row) because the a stuck together after baking and you break off one.



I was at the bakery and looked at them and then the pricetag. Crazy! I did not buy one, but a block of fresh yeast  for € 0,23 at the supermarket. All other ingredients were at home.



Recipe for 14 buns:

500 g AP flour

42 g fresh yeast

85 g sugar

Pinch of salt

80 g soft unsalted butter

150 ml warm milk

2 eggs

---------------------

1 egg yolk and milk for the coating later

Butter and some breadcrumbs for the baking dish.




Put the yeast in the warm milk for a couple of minutes. Then bring everything together and form a dough ball. Put in a oiled bowl and cover and let it rise for 1 hour.



Form a log on a lightly floured surface and cut in 14 pieces.


Roll out each piece lengthwise about 18 cm. Fold in the corners and roll from the side up. Place in a buttered baking dish apart from each other.



Make two rows a 7.  Put a damp dishtowel over them and let them rest 30 min.



Preheat your oven 180 C. Mix egg yolk with a little milk. Brush the tops. Bake for 20 min.
