Streuseltaler Rezept

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and instant yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast is activated and foamy.

2. Add the softened butter, egg, sugar, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix everything together until well combined.

3. Gradually add the flour and knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This should take about 5-7 minutes of kneading.

4. Shape the dough into a ball and place it back in the bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

5. While the dough is proofing, prepare the streusel topping. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Add the cold, cubed butter and use your fingertips to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until you have a crumbly mixture. Set aside.

6. Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into equal-sized portions and shape each into a ball.

7. Roll out each ball of dough into a flat circle, about 4-5 inches in diameter. Place them onto a lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each Taler.

8. Sprinkle a generous amount of streusel on top of each dough circle, pressing them lightly into the dough.

9. Cover the Streuseltaler with a kitchen towel and let them rest for another 15-20 minutes to rise slightly.

10. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake the Streuseltaler for 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the streusel is crispy.

11. Once baked, remove the Streuseltaler from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
