👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm milk with the yeast and a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, cardamom, and salt. Add the softened butter and the yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.
💡 Consigli Professionali: You can use a stand mixer with a dough hook for this. - 3
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
⏱️ 1 hour💡 Consigli Professionali: The dough should be soft and slightly sticky. - 4
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by creaming together the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Ensure the butter is soft but not melted. - 5
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a large rectangle (approximately 30x40 cm) on a lightly floured surface.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Roll evenly to ensure consistent thickness. - 6
Spread the cinnamon-butter mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border along one long edge.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Don't overfill, as it can make the buns too greasy. - 7
Roll the dough up tightly from the long edge opposite the border. Slice the roll into 12 equal pieces.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Use a sharp knife or dental floss for clean cuts. - 8
Place the slices cut-side up in a greased baking pan or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Gently press down on each bun to flatten slightly and create the 'ear' shape.
💡 Consigli Professionali: The characteristic 'ear' is made by pressing the center of the spiral down. - 9
Cover the buns and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
⏱️ 30 minutes - 10
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Brush the risen buns with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle generously with pearl sugar.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Egg wash gives a lovely golden sheen. - 11
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
