Buchteln/Buchty/Austrian Sweet pull-apart Rolls

Buchteln/Buchty/Buchtel or Wuchteln is a traditional Austrian Sweet pull apart rolls, these yeasted pull apart style sweet rolls are filled with apricot jam. I have been looking for something to finish some homemade apricot jam and finally i landed to this beautiful site. Though these buns are sweet pull apart rolls, this cuties will be mildly sweet as this rolls calls for less sugar. Since i want to stick with the traditional way of preparing this Austrian sweet pull apart rolls, i followed the original recipe and trust me this Buchteln are my kid's favourite. These rolls came out extremely fluffy, airy with a nicely browned top which will turn super soft once its cool completely. Often served with vanilla sauce, these rolls makes an excellent dessert after a meal or for an evening snack.

Brownies, this rich chocolate loaded baked dessert are quite famous for their fudgy texture. Usually served for desserts for their fudgy or cakey texture, these square shaped brownies are seriously my kids favourite. They can just have brownies anytime of the day as they just love it to the core. Obviously everytime i plan something with chocolates i usually end up with brownies. Needless to say how we love brownies at home. Actually i had a small bottle of strawberry jam sitting for a while in my fridge as none want to have in their bread toast. Instead of trashing it, i used for  making this fudgy and super jammy brownies.

Strawberry Marmalade / Chunky Strawberry Jam

Marmalade or jam is just fruit cooked with sugar and citric acid which means lemon juice. Homemade jams are best and its hardly goes for less ingredients, no preservative no food colouring obviously i love to make my small batch of fresh fruit jams at home whenever its peak season for any fruits. Everytime i'll go to Farmer's market,i'll look in couple of stalls to get a good quality pulpy fruits to make jams at home. As i told earlier jams doesnt need anything particular, just fruit chunks, sugar and lemon juice is quite enough to make a bottle of preservative free jams.

This time i prepared this strawberry marmalade aka chunky strawberry jam with super juicy strawberries i have bought recently. Strawberry marmalade makes an excellent pair with crepes or as a delicious topping for desserts. I have prepared a bread rolls with this marmalade, will post it very soon. Usually for most us marmalade means orange marmalade but still you can make with strawberries.I picked this marmalade from Jams and Marmalades, a booklet i got while i went for a product launching here.
