A detailed recipe for sweet buns with jam and crumbs with exact quantities and step-by-step instructions can be found here at the very bottom.
A combination of yeast dough, jam and crumbs
Yeast dough, jam and fine crumbs make a delicious combination of flavors combined in these sweet buns. The dough tastes very soft, airy and not too sweet. It is perfectly complemented with the sweet and sour note of jam. Crispy tender crumbs complete the taste of the buns and make it perfect.
Which jam do I use for sweet buns?
You can use any jam for these sweet buns. Just use your favorite jam. However, it should have a firm consistency so that it does not flow out of the buns during baking. The buns taste best with homemade jam. I had taken for the recipe homemade raspberry plum jam. It tastes sweet and sour and combines perfectly with the fluffy yeast dough and the delicate crumbs.
Eye-catcher to bite into
These sweet buns look simply scrumptious. The golden yeast dough with a blob of colorful jam in the middle and the light yellow fine crumbs around it – doesn’t it sound like an eye-catcher that you want to devour immediately? With this pastry, you’re sure to impress your guests at a party. But also during the week or on the weekend you can spoil your family with it.
How to store the sweet buns?
The sweet buns with jam and crumbs taste best right after baking, when they have cooled down a bit. But they will remain soft and just as flavorful for the next few days. Store them in an airtight container, such as a lunch box, in the refrigerator so they don’t dry out. You can enjoy them over about 4 – 5 days.

Recipe for sweet buns with jam and crumbs
The recipe for sweet buns is very easy. You should only allow plenty of time for making, because the yeast dough must rise. Here you can get a rough idea of how the making works and what you need for it. As always, you can find the exact quantities and step-by-step instructions for making sweet buns with jam and crumbs here below in the box recipe.
For the yeast dough you need lukewarm milk, soft butter, eggs at room temperature, sugar, flour, yeast, vanilla and a little salt. For the filling you just need any solid jam. And for the crumbs you need soft butter, sugar, vanilla and flour.
First you make the pre-dough from milk, yeast, a little sugar and some flour and let it rise briefly. Then you mix the remaining ingredients for the dough, except flour, together and stir the mixture into the pre-dough. Then add the remaining flour in portions and knead everything into a very soft dough. Now let the dough rise for a while, kneading it once in between. Then form balls from the dough and let them rise. In the meantime, you can make the crumbs. Mix all the ingredients to make fine crumbs. After the dough balls have risen, make narrow but deep depressions in the center of each ball with your index finger, brush the balls with egg yolk, which you first dilute with a little water, and sprinkle them with the crumbs. Then fill the cavities with a little jam and put the buns in the oven to bake. And they are ready!
