Cinnamon Buns
KronJäst- 40 min
- 1 hour 30 minutes
With cinnamon as the base, adding a little cardamom makes them extra flavorful. If you’d rather bake them as a loaf, that works just as well, of course. There’s not much that beats the smell of freshly baked buns!

-
1
Pour most of the flour, along with the sugar, salt, and cardamom, into the food processor bowl. Add the margarine in small pieces and crumble in the yeast.
-
2
Heat the milk to 25 °C. Pour the milk over the ingredients in the bowl and knead vigorously until the dough is shiny and smooth and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 5 minutes.
-
3
Let the dough rise under a kitchen towel in the bowl until it doubles in size, about 30 minutes. When it has finished rising, it will have a dry, shiny surface. Then knead it a few times in the mixer.
-
4
Divide the dough into two pieces. Roll out the pieces into rectangles measuring about 40×30 cm. Spread the filling thinly over the dough, fold in half, and cut into 2-cm-wide strips. Stretch and twist the strips of dough, then shape them into loose knots.
-
5
Place the dough balls on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Let them rise for 45 minutes.

6
Brush the buns with egg and sprinkle with pearl sugar. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 8–10 minutes, until golden brown.
