Cinnamon buns / Kanelbullar

One of the Swedes' favorite desserts: coffee and kanelbullar go together.

Ingredients

• 100 g butter
• 500 ml milk
• 50 g yeast
• 1 TL salt
• 85 g granulated sugar
• 2 TL crushed cardamom seeds
• 900 g wheat flour, type 405

2. Crumble the yeast into a bowl. Pour in the liquid and stir until the yeast has dissolved.
3. Add the salt, sugar, cardamom and almost all the flour; set aside the remaining flour for rolling out.
4. Knead the dough until it comes away from the sides of the bowl and is smooth and elastic. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and leave to rise for about 30 minutes.
5. Place the dough on a floured surface and divide in half. Roll out into two rectangular sheets about ½ cm thick.
6. Brush the dough sheets with butter and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
