-
1
Melt the butter, stir in the milk, salt, sugar, cardamom, and saffron, and let it cool to 20 °C.
-
2
Crumble the yeast into the mixing bowl and pour a little of the dough liquid over it. Stir until the yeast has dissolved.
-
3
Pour in the remaining dough liquid and one egg. Add most of the flour and knead into a smooth dough—it’s better to be a little sticky than too crumbly. Let it rise for about 45 minutes.
-
4
Take out the dough and knead it until smooth, roll it into round buns, and let them rise for another 40 minutes. Mix together the filling.
-
5
Make a small indentation in the center of each bun and spoon or pipe in a dollop of the almond filling. Brush with egg and sprinkle with a little pearl sugar.
