Tips for the best Buchteln - Jam Filled Rolls
Amount of lemons for zest: You will need 2 medium lemons to gain the amount of finely chopped zest for these rolls.
Pinching the ends together: Even with a small amount of jam in the center of your dough, if you do not lightly thin out the edges you will find the jam begins to spill out when you start pinch them together. By lightly pressing the pressing the edges of your dough you will help to pinch together and hold the dough in the center over the jam filling without getting jam everywhere.
Serving: These are best served the day they are made, though will still be good (not as great as the day they’re made) for 2 days after making, if kept covered.
