Fluffy Slovenian jam filled rolls, also known as Buchteln (in German) or Buhtlji (in Slovene) are a treat we like to bake around the holidays. The base is a rich, sweet yeasted dough that we fill with jam before baking.…
Orange yogurt Stollen french toast. Get ready. I just don’t know where to begin. I just… this recipe has all my favorites wrapped into one neat package. It’s really almost too much to handle, emphasis on almost.
