🇸🇪 What Are Swedish Cinnamon Rolls (Kanelbullar)?

Kanelbullar are classic Swedish cinnamon rolls, subtly flavored with cardamom in the dough and filled with a rich cinnamon-butter mixture. Unlike American-style cinnamon rolls, Kanelbullar are less sweet, beautifully braided or rolled, and typically enjoyed during fika—Sweden’s beloved coffee break tradition.

🛒 Ingredients

For the Dough:

  • 3½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2¼ tsp (1 packet) instant yeast
  • 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup warm milk (not hot)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 egg

For the Cinnamon Filling:

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

For Brushing and Topping:

  • 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
  • Pearl sugar or granulated sugar (for topping)

🍞 How to Make Swedish Cinnamon Rolls – Step-by-Step

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, yeast, cardamom, and salt.
  2. Add warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled.

Step 2: Make the Filling

  • Mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside.

Step 3: Roll and Fill

  1. Roll out the dough into a rectangle (about 12x18 inches).
  2. Spread cinnamon filling evenly across the dough.
  3. Fold the dough in half lengthwise.
  4. Cut into 1-inch strips and twist or roll into knots/spirals.

Step 4: Second Rise

  • Place rolls on a parchment-lined tray. Cover and let rise for 30–40 minutes.

Step 5: Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Brush rolls with egg wash and sprinkle with pearl sugar.
  3. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
