- Preparation: 90 min
- Cooking: 12 min
- Makes: 1 serving (111 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 45 g Flour, all-purpose
- 25 g Milk, whole
- 15 g Butter, unsalted
- 15 g Sugar
- 1.5 g Yeast, active dry
- 8 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 0.3 g Cardamom

Method
- Warm the milk, dissolve the yeast and a little of the sugar in it, and let stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
- Mix in the flour, most of the remaining sugar, the salt, cardamom and half the melted butter to a soft dough (keep a little sugar back for the filling); knead 8-10 minutes, then cover and let rise for 1 hour. Makes 1 bun; multiply the recipe for a full batch.
- Roll the dough out into a rectangle, spread with the remaining melted butter, and sprinkle with the cinnamon and reserved sugar.
