Recipe for Buns with filling in Cream

1. Dissolve yeast in warm milk, add eggs, sugar, salt, butter and olive oil.
2. Adding flour gradually, knead non-sticky soft dough. Knead it for about 15 minutes. Flour being a little different in different countries, the amount of flour needed may vary a little.
3. Roll up the dough into a ball, put it in a deep bowl, cover with a film and leave standing for 2 hours.
4. When the dough has gotten twice its size, put it on the worktable and cut up into medium-sized pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.

1. Flatten each ball with your fingers, put some jam and raisin in the middle of each. Pinch the edges shut thus forming buns.

1. Place the buns seam down onto a deep baking tray and leave like this for 1 hour.

1. When the buns have grown in size, pour them over with sweet cream.

1. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 356 degrees for about 30 minutes until they get nicely golden.
