Berliner (German Bun)

Berliner is a round bun originating from Germany, produced with yeast dough and often flavored with jam or marmalade. It is covered with powdered sugar. It is also known as “Berliner Pfannkuchen” in German. After this dessert became popular during carnival times, it is now consumed under different names in many European countries.

When the dough balls have fermented well and reached a sufficient size, they are fried in deep oil. Delicious berliners are prepared by filling them with strawberry marmalade. If you wish, you can also prepare them by filling them with different marmalades, jams or chocolate paste. We are sure it will be delicious in every way.

Finally, when powdered sugar is sprinkled on it, it is ready to be a guest at tea time. Let us take you to the kitchen for the berliner recipe that you will not be able to taste with its delicious aroma.

180 milliliters of milk (at room temperature) (1 cup)

Knead the dough ingredients for Berliner in a deep bowl or in a dough kneader until smooth.

Set the Vestel refrigerator to yeast setting. Let the dough rest, covered, for 45 minutes to ferment. (If there is no fermentation setting in your refrigerator, leave it to ferment at room temperature until it doubles in size)

Roll out the fermented dough on a lightly floured counter to half a centimeter thick using a rolling pin and cut out round pieces using a glass.

Cover the circles you cut and let them ferment for another 15-20 minutes.

Fry the dough 5 times, front and back, in the oil you have heated at medium temperature.

You can squeeze any marmalade of your choice into the fried dough and serve it by sprinkling powdered sugar on it. Berliner is ready. Enjoy your meal.
