Rikes Quarkbrotchen German quark rolls breakfast brunch baking

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup quark (substitute with Greek yogurt if unavailable)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the quark, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently to form a soft dough. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Use a sharp knife to make a cross-cut on the top of each roll, allowing them to expand while baking.
Bake the quark rolls in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Enjoy your freshly baked Rikes Quarkbrotchen warm with butter, jam, or your favorite spread.
