Kanelbullar (Swedish Cinnamon Rolls) Overview
Kanelbullar, or Swedish cinnamon buns, are a beloved Scandinavian treat made with a spiced, yeasted dough rolled up with a buttery cinnamon-sugar filling. They're less sweet than American-style cinnamon rolls and often feature cardamom in the dough.
Key Ingredients
1. Dough: Flour, yeast, sugar, milk, butter, eggs, salt, and ground cardamom.
2. Filling: Butter, sugar, and cinnamon.
3. Topping: Egg wash and pearl sugar for a signature crunchy finish.
Basic Steps
1. Make the Dough: Combine ingredients, knead, and let rise until doubled.
2. Prepare the Filling: Mix softened butter, sugar, and cinnamon.
3. Assemble Rolls: Roll out the dough, spread the filling, roll it up, and cut into spirals or twist into knots.
4. Second Rise: Let the shaped buns rise for a second time.
5. Bake: Brush with egg wash, sprinkle with pearl sugar, and bake at 375°F (190°C) until golden.
