Buns w/Prunes (Rohnudeln mit Zwetschgen) (D, TNT)
Source: I found this recipe in the Swiss magazine Cuisine de Saison
Yield: 12 buns

1 ovenproof dish 30cm (12") long (I used a round Tefal)

Dough:
500g (1 lb. 2 oz.) flour
20g (2/3 oz.) yeast
3 tbsp. Demarera sugar
2-1/2dl (1 cup) tepid milk (I used cold)
Zest of 1 lemon
1 pinch of salt
60g (2 oz.) softened butter (I used margarine)
1 egg

Filling:
12 Santa Rosa prunes
12 brown sugar cubes (see directions)

For sprinkling on top:
Cinnamon and sugar, or vanilla sugar

Put everything in the bread maker, on dough cycle, including both mixing and raising ingredients. Leave for 1-1/2 hour.

Open each prune, discard the pit and replace it with 1/2 cube of dark sugar (sometimes available in Israel) - the recipe says 1 whole cube.

Oil mold with a little margarine.

Sprinkle a little flour on a board and with a rolling pin open the masse of dough in a sheet of 5mm (1/4") thick. Cut in 12 equal sizes. In each square, place a plum and seal the dough.

Place the buns in the baking pan (seal down). Let raise for 20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F). Bake on the middle rack for 20-25 minutes.

Un-mold, brush the buns with cold milk and sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on the top, or use vanilla sugar instead.

The leftovers should be frozen, and re-heated in the oven.

Poster's Notes:
A little too late for some of you to prepare a batch for the break fast, but couldn't resist sharing a great recipe found in the Swiss magazine Cuisine de Saison. We loved it!

Serve with coffee, or use whipping cream or yogurt mousse.
