So when I was a kid my neighbor was Austrian and she used to make these 
bread buns with jelly inside baked in a large I'm guessing 11x13 pan filled 
with melted butter in the bottom, then melted butter poured on top before 
baking. It was a raised dough she called them woochdles. 
Not spelled correctly at all lol. pronounced woo' k' dles. It was pure heaven
 to bite into those things with the crispy brown bottom and the jelly inside. 
 YUMM the bread inside was very soft like white bread. Can you help?
Thanks

Hi Kristine,

I think that they are jam-filled "buchteln", also known as "wuchteln" and other similar local names. See the recipes on these sites, with photos:
