Answers:
BUCHTY
2 cups milk, lukewarm
1 cup sugar
1 cake yeast
1 tablespoon salt
2-3 eggs
8 ounces butter, melted
7-8 cups all purpose flour
Jam filling of choice
Place in a cup 2 tablespoons of sugar and crumble yeast on top. Fill cup with lukewarm milk and let yeast activate a few minutes. Add 2-3 eggs.
Place 3 1/2 cups flour over egg mixture. Add a little of the butter. Mix. Alternate adding flour and butter mixing after each addition. Beat well until dough is satin in finish and starts to pull away cleanly from sides of bowel (a little more flour may be added to reach proper consistency). Cover with clear wrap or towel and place in a warm, draftless area until double in bulk.
Lightly flour your work table. Take a teaspoonful of dough working your fingers to shape it into a circle, flattening as you go. Place a teaspoon of filling into the center. Bring up sides and pinch to seal. Place pinched side down on a greased cookie sheet. Work more dough until pan is filled. Let rise approximately ten minutes. Bake in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Watch baking closely until tops are lightly brown. Remove from pan. May brush with a little melted butter if you wish. Cool. Dust with powdered sugar.

It should look like a giant window.
Interestingly, I know "Buchty" that have nothing to do with Beer, Wine and Spirits, so I have little confidence that this is going to help you, but still:

As you can see here, it's quoted as a German bread, although they make it in Bulgaria very often, and I've also seen it like "Slovak bread" on the net, so I guess many nations have own version of the recipe ;)
Also, the measurements are not American, but you can find many conversion tables on the net ;)
However, if you were looking for something different, good luck finding it ;)
