SWEDISH CINNAMON BUNS (KANELBULLAR)

Steps:

• Put the butter, milk and honey into a small saucepan and heat gently until melted. Leave to cool slightly before beating in the egg. Mix the flour, cardamom and salt together and combine. Add the dried yeast and mix thoroughly.
• Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix to form a rough dough. Knead for 5-10minutes until soft and elastic. Put the dough in a large, greased bowl and leave to rise until doubled in size (1-1.5hrs).
• Roll the dough into a large rectangle, roughly 25x35cm.
• Mix the sugar, cinnamon and butter together to make the filling mixture. If it isn't coming together very easily put it in the microwave for 10seconds to soften the butter further. Spread the filling mixture evenly over the dough, making sure it reaches right into the edges.
• Shape the rolls as wanted. I have shaped them into the traditional twisted bun in the photo (lots of how to videos on the web!) but I often roll the dough up and slice it into around 1inch rounds. This recipe makes 12-15 buns depending on how thick you slice the dough. Put the buns on a greased tray and cover with a tea towel/clingfilm and leave to rise until doubled in size (45min-1hr).
• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Brush the risen buns with beaten egg before baking for 20-30minutes (depending on the size of the buns).

CINNAMON ROLLS (KANELBULLAR) FROM CARDAMOM BREAD DOUGH RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare your Basic Cardamom Bread Dough using the first 7 ingredients listed above (this takes about 1 1/2 hours).
• BASIC CARDAMOM BREAD DOUGH DIRECTIONS:.
• Heat milk to a light boil, turning off heat when it reaches the scalding point (with small bubbles across the top). Stir in melted butter, sugar, salt, and ground cardamom.
• Let mixture COOL until "finger-warm" (still warm, but cool enough to touch). Stir in yeast and let sit for 10 minutes. VERY IMPORTANT: The milk should be LUKEWARM (or fingerwarm) and the yeast will double itself nicely! If the milk mixture is too hot, it will kill the yeast properties!
• Add flour into mixture 1/2 cup at a time until dough is firm and pulls away from the side of your mixing bowl (Tip: If using a stand mixer, exchange the mixing paddle for the dough hook after you've added the first 5 cups of flour. Use the dough hook to mix and knead the dough as you add the remaining 3-4 cups of flour).
• Cover the dough in the mixing bowl with a clean towel and let rise until doubled, about an hour.
• Punch down the dough, then remove from bowl.
• Knead lightly on floured counter until smooth and shiny. Divide dough into two halves.
• CINNAMON ROLL DIRECTIONS:
• Roll each half of dough into a 12" by 18" rectangle. Brush each rectangle well with melted butter. Combine 2/3 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over the 2 rectangles. Roll each rectangle crosswise, like a jelly roll, to form an 18"-long cylinder.
• Using a sharp or serrated knife, cut each cylinder into 20 equal slices.
• Place each slice into a paper cupcake wrapper and place on baking sheet. Cover with towel and allow to double in size, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425º.
• Brush risen cinnamon rolls with egg wash and sprinkle with pearl sugar and / or almonds. Place in the middle of a preheated oven and bake for 7 minutes, or until done.
• Yield: 40 cinnamon rolls.

CINNAMON BUNS

Steps:

• Combine the water and milk in a medium saucepan and warm over low heat until it is about 100 degrees F (but no more than 110 degrees). Remove from heat and sprinkle the yeast over the surface over the liquid. Sprinkle a pinch of the sugar over the top and set aside without stirring, until foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk the butter, egg yolk and vanilla into the yeast mixture.
• Whisk the flour, the sugar, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour and stir in the yeast mixture with a wooden spoon to make a thick and slightly sticky dough. Turn dough onto a floured work surface and knead until soft and elastic, about 6 minutes. Shape into a ball.
• Brush the inside of a large bowl with butter. Put dough in the buttered bowl, turning to coat lightly with butter. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, trace a circle the size of the dough on the plastic, and note the time. Let rise at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
• Turn dough out of the bowl and knead briefly to release excess air; reform into a ball and return to the bowl. Lightly butter a large piece of plastic wrap and lay it on the dough. Cover the entire bowl tightly with plastic and proof in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight.
• To fill and form the rolls: Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Whisk the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Turn prepared dough onto a floured work surface and press, then roll into 10-by-18-inch rectangle, with a long edge facing you. Spread the softened butter evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving about an inch border on the side opposite you. Evenly scatter the cinnamon-sugar over the butter. Starting from the long side facing you, roll the dough up into a tight cylinder. Lightly brush the clean edge of the dough with water. Press the open long edge to the dough to seal the cylinder.
• Slip a long taut piece of string or dental floss under the roll, about 1 1/2 inches from the end. Lift and cross the string ends over the roll, then pull the ends tightly in opposite directions to cut a single roll. Repeat, cutting every 1 1/2 inches, to make 12 rolls. Place the rolls cut-side-down in the prepared pan, leaving 1 inch of space between them. Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap. Set aside in a warm place to rise until rolls double in size, about 1 hour 10 minutes.
• Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Bake buns until golden brown and the tops of the buns spring back when pressed lightly, about 30 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
• To make the glaze: Sift the confectioners' sugar into a medium bowl. Whisk in the condensed milk, butter, and lemon juice to make a smooth, slightly loose icing. Add the vanilla and cinnamon. Drizzle the icing over warm buns. Serve.
