Ingredients
- 500 g Mehl
- 1 Pck. Hefe, frische
- 100 ml Wasser
- ½ TL Salz
- 70 g Puderzucker
- 100 g Butter
- 130 ml Milch
- 1 Eigelb
- 1 Ei(er)
- ½ Zitrone(n), die Schale
- Hagelzucker
- 1 Eiweiß, zum Bestreichen

Instructions
- Bring the yeast to dissolve in water with salt and let it stand for about 3 hours.
- Mix in the flour, powdered sugar, softened butter, lemon zest, eggs, and milk to knead a nice yeast dough.
- Place the dough in a warm area and let it rise for about 30-40 minutes.
- Take small pieces of dough and shape them into finger-width rolls, approximately 35-40 cm long.
- Braid each roll to form a pastry.
- Roll out the dough thinly to fit a 28 cm pan, cut the dough into 6 pieces, and put 1 teaspoon of jam or nougat cream on each piece.
- Roll from the wider side to the tip.
- Place the striezers or kipferls on a prepared baking sheet and let them rise again.
- Brush with egg white and sprinkle with coarse sugar, then bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 12-15 minutes (kipferls may take a few minutes longer).
Notes
For a sweeter finish, sprinkle with powdered sugar after baking instead of using coarse sugar.
