This simple, cardamom-spiced yeasted dough serves as the basis for many Scandinavian coffee breads, rolls, and buns.
Ingredients
Steps to Make It
-
Heat milk to a light boil, turning off heat when it reaches the scalding point (with small bubbles across the top).
-
Stir in melted butter, sugar, salt, and ground cardamom. Let mixture cool until “finger-warm” (still quite warm, but just cool enough to touch).
-
Stir in yeast and let sit for 10 minutes.
-
Add flour into mixture 1/2 cup at a time until dough is firm and pulls away from the side of your mixing bowl
-
Cover the dough in the mixing bowl with a clean towel and let rise until doubled, about an hour.
-
Punch down the dough, then remove from bowl.
-
On a floured counter, knead dough lightly until smooth and shiny.
-
Divide dough into two halves and use to make braided loaves (vetebröd), buns, and/or cinnamon rolls (kanelbullar).
Tip
- If using a stand mixer, exchange the mixing paddle for the dough hook after you’ve added the first 5 cups of flour. Use the dough hook to mix and knead the dough as you add the remaining 3 to 4 cups of flour.
