Cinnamon buns!

Just note this down since it’s kinda great

Dough

  1. 2.5 cups all-purpose + 0.5 cup cake
  2. 7g of yeast (1 packet) or 22g of fresh yeast (activate it by breaking it down and dissolve in lukewarm milk
  3. 0.75 cup of lukewarm milk (microwave for 30s)
  4. 0.33 cup of brown sugar
  5. 1 (.15) tbsp of cardamon
  6. 75g butter
  7. 1 egg
  8. 1 tsp sea salt

Instructions a. flour b. whisk together lukewarm milk, sugar, cardamon and egg + yeast c. add b) to a) and mix, add butter, mix for 10min before adding salt d. looking for the state where it’s still a bit sticky and very spreadable ( too much flour or overworking will cause the rolls to become dense (🥹)) e. 1 hour of proofing (double in size) with a bunch of air holes (puffy!)


Filling

  1. 50g melted butter
  2. 0.35 cup brown sugar
  3. 1 tbsp cinnamon

Instructions a. cut the proofed dough in half, and roll each half to at least 12 X 14 inches (!!!wider for more layers and prettier rolls!!) b. brush the butter, and spray the cinnamon sugar! c. roll the dough and cut the dough angularly b. place the narrow side on top and press each dough pieces :)


Decoration

  1. egg
  2. tiny butter !oh yes the secret ingredient found after 7th trial for the golden brown color needed on the pastry
  3. Swedish pearl sugar

Instructions a. mix and brush the egg wash (egg + butter) and spray the pearl sugar generously b. wait for proofing another 15-20min c. put in oven of 427F (220C), and bake for 15-20min
