Cardamom Cinnamon Rolls
Cinnamon rolls, made with a historic traditional cardamom-flavored dough and richly buttered and sugared, are perfect for a winter evening or morning.
Preparation time: 1 hour for dough preparation, 15 minutes for pre-rising, and 15 minutes for baking.
Level: Not too difficult
Quantity: 20 cinnamon rolls
Ingredients:
Dough:
700 g flour
350 ml warm milk
50 g yeast
A pinch of salt
3 tbsp sugar
0.5 tsp ground cardamom
200 g butter
Filling:
200 g room temperature butter
200 g brown sugar
10 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla sugar
Egg for brushing
Pearl sugar for sprinkling on cinnamon rolls
Preparation:
- Melt the butter, warm the milk, pour the flour into a large bowl, and shake in the sea salt, sugar, and cardamom.
- Dissolve the yeast in a little warm milk and pour the dissolved yeast, milk, and butter into the flour mixture and knead it into a dough.
- Do not knead the dough for too long; cinnamon rolls do not need a strong gluten network. Knead until the dough comes away from your hands and the sides of the bowl.
- Place the dough under a clean towel in a warm place to rise. The ideal setting is +40 degrees oven proofing.
- Prepare the butter-sugar-cinnamon mixture. To do this, whisk the room-temperature butter, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla sugar in a bowl until smooth.
- The dough should have risen twice as high in about 45 minutes. If not, let it rise a little longer.
- Press the air out of the dough and place the dough on a floured work surface. The dough is so greasy that it does not stick.
- Roll the dough into a large rectangle about half a centimeter thick.
- Spread the butter-sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly from edge to edge on the dough so that the entire dough layer is covered.
- Roll the dough tightly together. Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Cut the rolled dough into slices about 2.5 cm thick and place them on the baking sheet, leaving at least 5 cm between them.
- Let the finished cinnamon rolls rise for 15-30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 220 degrees C.
- Beat the egg and brush the cinnamon rolls with the egg. Sprinkle with pearl sugar.
- Place the cinnamon rolls in the oven and set the oven to 200 degrees C.
- Bake the cinnamon rolls for 15 minutes.
