Bread "Buchteln" Recipe
This bread for breakfast is prepared in the north of Italy, in the Trentino-Alto Adige region. This is a mountainous region with magnificent vineyards - that's why raisins are used. Absolutely incredible bread!!! The crumb is so airy, just fluffy... And the fragrance!!! This is crazy!!! We would call it a butter pie or a cake, but the Italians say it's bread.

  9. Meanwhile, grease the mold with butter and sprinkle them with flour. I took a mold with a diameter of 23 cm, but this was not enough, the remains of the dough had to be put into a cake mold. So, as a result, I got 2 types of bread.

  13. Bake in a preheated 160*C oven for 40 minutes. The bread in the oven should rise, but after a while it just started to brown, so I increased the temperature to 180 * C and turned on the blowing. After that, the loaves will quickly brown.
