Kanelbullar

I promised you the Cinnamon rolls (actually knots…) ~ Kanelbullar recipe so that’s what I’m giving you today. I’m using the recipe from Rutiga Kokboken.

*Edit. I’ve reviewed the recipe and have used an online coverter to make the measurements more clear.

Ingredients

  • 100 grams / 3,5 oz Butter
  • 5 decilitres / 17 fluid oz / 2 cups  Milk
  • 50 grams / 1,75 oz  Yeast
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 1/2 decilitres / 5 fluid oz 4,3 oz Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cardamom
  • 1,3 litres / 1,4 quarts 5,4 cups Wheat flour

Filling ingredients

  • 100 grams / 3,5 oz Butter
  • 1 decilitre / 3,5 fluid oz  2,9 oz Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Cinnamon

On top

  • 1 egg
  • Pearl sugar

Melt the butter, add the milk and heat until finger warm. Crumble the yeast into a bowl. Add a little bit of the milk/butter mixture and stir until the yeast is disolved. Add the rest of the milk/butter mixture, salt, sugar and ground cardamom and 2/3 of the flour.

Mix and add flour until the dough comes off the sides of the bowl. Save a little bit of flour for later.

Cover the dough with a tea towel and let it rise until double the size, about 35-40 minutes. Mix the dough for a few minutes in the bowl and then knead it on the flour dusted work top with the rest of the flour. I usually end up adding more flour than the recipe states or the dough will be very sticky…

Divide the dough into two equal parts. Use a rolling pin to flatten the two dough parts into 20×40 cm ( 8"x16") each.  Mix the filling ingredients in small bowl and spread the butter/sugar/cinnamon filling on the dough.

Twist the two "legs" separately and then twist them both in to a knot.

Place the knots on a covered or greased baking sheet. Let rise under a tea towel for 20 minutes. Whisk the egg in a bowl and use a pastry brush to brush the egg onto the knots. Sprinkle some pearl sugar on top.

Place in the middle of a 250 degree Centigrade / 500 degree Farenheit (hot) oven for 8-10 minutes until gloriously brown.

Mmmmmm!
