Streuseltaler
Ingredients:
– 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
– ½ cup warm milk
– 1 egg
– 3 tablespoons sugar
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
– For the streusel topping:
– ½ cup all-purpose flour
– 3 tablespoons brown sugar
– 3 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
– ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the softened butter and egg, then pour in the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. Punch down the dough to release the air, then divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten into a disc shape on the baking sheet.
7. In a small bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the streusel topping. Add the cold cubed butter and rub the mixture with your fingers until crumbly.
8. Sprinkle the streusel on top of each pastry disc, pressing gently to adhere.
9. Let the pastries rest for another 15-20 minutes to slightly rise again.
10. Bake the Streuseltaler in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
11. Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
