Swedish Cinnamon Buns

Description

A national treasure of Sweden, a symbol and the quintessence of the Swedish way of life. There is even a special day dedicated to the cinnamon bun, specifically October 4th: Cinnamon Bun Day. Every year, on this day alone, 7,000,000 buns are sold — in a country with a population of 10 million. By the way, the sweet rolls that the character invented by a common American author named Astrid would enjoy are indeed these cinnamon buns.

Ingredients

• Milk - 15 fl oz
• Dry yeast - 0 oz

• Wheat Flour - 30 oz
• Butter - 5 oz
• Ground Cinnamon - 2 spoons
• Whole egg - 1 piece

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Heat the milk to 100°F; it should be warm, not hot. Dissolve the yeast in the milk. Add melted butter (100 grams), salt, and 110 grams of sugar.

Step 2

Knead the dough, gradually adding flour. The dough should be elastic and come away from your hands; the longer you knead, the better it will be. Cover the dough with a towel and let it rest for about thirty to fifty minutes.

Step 3

Knead the dough and roll it out to a thickness of 3 mm. Brush with melted butter (50 g), generously sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, then fold in half. Cut the dough into long strips about 2.5 cm wide.

Step 4

Taking one end of the strip, roll the dough into a bun that resembles a snail or a rose.

Step 5

Brush the buns with lightly beaten egg yolk. Bake in a preheated oven at 430°F for about fifteen minutes.
