You can't deny that the autumn is coming. In my kitchen strawberries and chard have been superseded by plums and chanterelles. More often we want hot soup rather than cold soup and fruit cocktails. Today I would like to share with you the recipe for buns with plums, which admittedly need more work, but I assure you that it is worth it. A warm bun is excellent with a cup of tea and if you are not able to eat everything, you can pack it in your children's lunchbox. This sweet surprise immediately brightens up a grey school day.

If you use fresh yeast you need to prepare leaven with the yeast, sugar and tepid milk. I used dry yeast. You only need to mix it with flour and knead with the rest of the ingredients.

Ingredients (6 buns)
dough
5g of dry yeast
200g of flour
125ml of milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons of sugar
30 g of butter
a pinch of salt
crumble topping
30g of butter
30g of caster sugar
60g of flour
8-9 plums
2 tablespoons of milk

Mix together the flour and dry yeast. Add the rest of the ingredients (except the butter) and knead the dough until it doesn't stick to your hand. Then add the melted butter and knead it again. The dough should be soft and flexible. Put the dough into a bowl sprinkled with flour and cover with a clean cloth and leave in a warm place for an hour and a half.
Cover a baking sheet with some baking paper.
Knead the dough again and form 6 balls, flatten them slightly and put them on the baking sheet. Cover with a cloth and leave in a warm place for an hour.
Heat the oven up to 180C. Wash the plums, remove the cores and cut into smaller pieces.
Prepare the crumble topping. Mix the flour and sugar together. Add the butter and knead until you make crumbs.
Make a dimple in every dough ball and put the plums on top. Smooth the edges of the dough with milk or egg and sprinkle with the crumble topping. Bake for 17 minutes. Sprinkle with the caster sugar or decorate with icing before serving.

Enjoy your meal!
