Traditional Muraň buns

Traditional Slovak baked goods

Muraň buns are traditional Slovak baked goods that excel in flavor, fluffy dough, and a variety of delicious fillings. This recipe dates back to the late 1960s and gained popularity thanks to the ingenuity of a local housewife.

Buns are made from a leavened dough consisting of plain flour, yeast, milk, sugar and butter. Cottage cheese or fruit such as cherries, apricots or other popular fillings are placed in the middle of the dough. The buns are then closed, shaped and wrapped in a crumbly wrapper.

The unique process of preparing the dough and baking Traditional Muraň buns has its own specificity, and when resuming production, it was necessary to consult with local people who remembered the original recipe.
