\ud83e\uddd1\u200d\ud83c\udf73 Procedure<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Dough and Yeast Preparation
    Yeast: Put $100 \\text{ ml}$ lukewarm milk, a teaspoon of sugar and crumbled yeast in a small bowl. Mix and leave in a warm place to rise (until a foam cap forms, about $10-15 \\text{ minutes}$).
    Yeast Preparation: Sift the flour with salt, lemon zest and the rest of the sugar into a large bowl. Make a well in the middle.
    Kneading: Pour the risen yeast, egg yolks, the rest of the lukewarm milk and melted butter into the well. Knead by hand or with a food processor for about $10-15 \\text{ minutes}$ until you get a soft, non-sticky and elastic dough.

    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Rising
    Sprinkle the dough with flour, cover with a towel and let it rise in a warm place for $1$ to $1.5 \\text{ hours}$ until it doubles in volume.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Shaping and Filling
    Turn the risen dough onto a lightly floured rolling pin and roll it out into a rectangular sheet about $1 \\text{ cm}$ thick.
    Cutting: Cut the dough into squares (size $7 \\text{ x } 7 \\text{ cm}$ is ideal).
    Filling: Put a teaspoon of cottage cheese filling (or jam, poppy seeds) in the middle of each square.
    Closing: Firmly bring opposite corners together to prevent the filling from leaking out. Shape into a neat bun.

    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Baking (The key to keeping them from sticking together)
    Baking pan: Grease the baking pan generously with melted butter (or oil).
    Brushing: Dip or brush each bun thoroughly with melted butter immediately after shaping.
    Stacking: Stack the buns side by side in the baking pan, seam side down. Don’t pack them too tightly, leave a little space between them.
    Rising 2: Let the buns rise in the baking pan for another $20 \\text{ minutes}$.
    Baking: Bake in a preheated oven at $180^\\circ\\text{C}$ for about $25-30 \\text{ minutes}$, until they are nicely golden.
    You can brush the buns with melted butter and rum while they are still hot and sprinkle with sugar after they have cooled. Enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
