👨‍🍳 조리법

1. 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. 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.

   💡 전문가 팁: You can use a stand mixer with a dough hook for this.
3. 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

   💡 전문가 팁: The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
4. 4

   While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by creaming together the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.

   💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the butter is soft but not melted.
5. 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.

   💡 전문가 팁: Roll evenly to ensure consistent thickness.
6. 6

   Spread the cinnamon-butter mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border along one long edge.

   💡 전문가 팁: Don't overfill, as it can make the buns too greasy.
7. 7

   Roll the dough up tightly from the long edge opposite the border. Slice the roll into 12 equal pieces.

   💡 전문가 팁: Use a sharp knife or dental floss for clean cuts.
8. 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.

   💡 전문가 팁: The characteristic 'ear' is made by pressing the center of the spiral down.
9. 9

   Cover the buns and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.

   ⏱️ 30 minutes
10. 10

    Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Brush the risen buns with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle generously with pearl sugar.

    💡 전문가 팁: Egg wash gives a lovely golden sheen.
11. 11

    Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
