For the Coffee Table – Golden Streusel Tarts

Instructions

1. Prepare the dough:
   Mix the flour with the dry yeast. Add salt, butter, sugar, egg, and warm milk. Knead everything with a dough hook into a smooth dough. Cover and let rise for 20 minutes in a warm place.

2. Make the streusel:
   Cut the cold butter into pieces and quickly knead it together with the other ingredients into a dough ball. Work fast so it doesn’t get sticky.

3. Shape the dough:
   After rising, knead the yeast dough again with a bit of flour. Form a roll and divide it into 12 equal balls. Roll each ball out into a circle of about 12 cm (5 in).

4. Assemble the tarts:
   Place 6 of the circles on a baking tray. Divide the streusel dough into 12 parts and crumble the topping evenly over the dough rounds.

5. Bake:
   Preheat the oven.
   Bake at 180°C (356°F) top/bottom heat or 160°C (320°F) fan for 15–20 minutes. The streusel should stay golden and not brown too much.

6. Cool & glaze:
   Let the finished Streuseltaler cool on a wire rack. Mix the sifted powdered sugar with a little warm water until smooth, brush over the tarts, and let it harden.

Best enjoyed fresh.
Bon appétit!
