Baking Martins-Weck - rolls for Saint Martin

We always bake Martin's wakes on Martin's Day. This old tradition is as popular with young children as it is with older children. The rolls are made of curd oil dough, because they become very loose and fluffy, are not crumbly and can be wonderfully shared. – and also by children's hands.
In addition, a quark oil dough bun tastes even without "cover" and is by no means dry.
Due to the simple way of making it is not difficult to make successful rolls, which all look very tasty. See for yourself how easy this can be.
Children have joy in sharing and joy in being "gifted" and this gesture is just lived and passed on by Saint Martin.
Have fun with it.
