Ingredients
Dough
- 400 g all-purpose flour
- 5 pods cardamom
- 250 ml milk
- 80 g butter
- 40 g confectioners sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 7 g dry yeast
- 1 unit egg
Filling
- 7 pods cardamom
- 10 g vanilla sugar
- 1½ tsp cinnamon
- 3½ tbsp confectioners sugar
- 120 g butter
- 50 g walnuts Crushed
To brush the buns
- 1 unit egg yolk
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Dough
- Pour 250 ml of milk into a saucepan, add 80 g of butter, and place on medium heat until the butter dissolves while the milk is getting warm.Be careful❗️Do not overheat the milk-butter mix because exposure to a temperature above 40°C can kill the yeast.
- Sift 400 g of flour into a large bowl.
- Add 40 g of confectioners sugar and half teaspoon of salt.Mix thoroughly before adding yeast. This is because mixing directly yeast and salt may slow down yeast activity.Add 7 g of dry yeast and mix well.
- Grind 6-7 cardamom pods (only seeds, no shell), Add it to the flour mix and mix well
- Add warm milk with butterAdd warm milk with butter
- Add 1 egg and mix well. Start mixing with a spatula, later on, wear gloves and knead the dough.
- Cover the bowl with the dough and let it rest until doubles in size. *(read the "Note")
Filling
- In the meantime, grind another 5-6 cardamom pods (seeds only, no shell).Make the filling for the buns. In a bowl mix ground cardamom, 10 g of vanilla sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of cinnamon, and 3 – 4 tablespoons of caster sugar. Mix well.
- Now add 120 g of room-temperature butter and mix thoroughly.Add 50 g of crushed nuts and mix well. Alternatively, you can use shredded coconut.
Bun making
- Place the risen dough on a floured surface and cut into 6 pieces.
- Form a ball out of each piece, place in a bowl, and cover with a towel.
- Flatten each dough ball into a round shape.Now apply and spread the filling onto each piece.
- Then roll it as I do and cut it in half lengthwise, leaving one end connected. Then intertwine the ends and roll everything into a bun (just follow my lead 😉 ).
- Place each bun on a greased baking sheet and let them rest for 30 minutes covered with film or a kitchen towel.
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
- Now, as our buns have grown, is time to brush them with a mix of 1 egg yolk, 1 tablespoon of milk, and a pinch of salt.
- Now bake them for 15 minutes at 190°C (375°F), then reduce the temperature to 170°C (340°F) and bake for 10 minutes more.
