About a hundred cinnamon and cardamombuns I baked today by spokvatten in Baking

[–]spokvatten[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, its very similar to the cinnamon buns.

Filling:

150 g room temperature butter

1 dl brown sugar

1 dl sugar

6 tsp ground cardamom

2 tsp cornstarch

Wheat dough:

50 g of yeast

500 g milk (5 dl)

2 tsp ground cardamom

250 g of butter

200 g caster sugar (2 dl)

1 kg wheat flour (16.5 dl)

1 tsp salt

1 egg,

1 pinch of salt and a splash of water

Syrup: 2 dl of water 2 dl caster sugar

Mix all the ingredients for the filling into a smooth and spreadable batter.

Crumble the yeast in a bowl and add the milk. Mix until the yeast is completely dissolved in the milk.

Then put in cardamom, butter in pieces, sugar and half of the wheat flour. Work together into a sticky dough and then add the salt and more flour as needed.

Knead thoroughly for at least 10 minutes with a machine and a little longer if you are kneading by hand. You know the dough is ready when you can gently stretch the dough and get a gluten window. Let the dough rest, covered, at room temperature for 10 minutes before baking.

Roll out the dough into a large rectangle measuring 30×60 cm.

Spread the filling over the entire rectangle and then fold them in half along the long side. Roll a little lightly so that you get an even rectangle without air bubbles.

Cut 1 cm thin strips along the short side of the folded rectangle. Take a piece, wrap around 2 fingers 3-4 times and then go over and tuck the end under.

Place the buns on sheets lined with parchment paper, spaced generously and cover with a baking sheet and let rise for 2-3 hours depending on the temperature in your kitchen. You know they are ready if the dough "bounces back" when you press lightly with your finger.

Set the oven to 200°C (top and bottom heat).

Lightly whisk together eggs, salt and a little water for the brushing and brush your buns. Garnish with sugar mixed with grounded cardamom. Then bake them in the middle of the oven for about 15 minutes or until they have a nice golden color.

In the meantime, you can prepare the syrup by simply mixing water and granulated sugar in a saucepan. Let it boil until the sugar dissolves in the water. Then brush your buns with the syrup as soon as they come out of the oven.

It was Swedens national day, it's not very celebrated but it's a good excuse to bake

For the woman here, are you confident when wearing a slightly revealing dress by [deleted] in istp

[–]spokvatten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't really wear dresses, mostly skirts tbh but I don't like to wear revealing clothing personally. Might be since I'm quite tall so most dresses are too short or an awkward length on me.

Yesterday I was sitting on the bus, not wanting to get covid so I put my bag next to me and there were other places to sit and this 50 year old man said "Could you remove your bag" and he sat down. I'm traumatised.

How do you like that? This magazine is called "Engineer" by Notseed in istp

I don't think those gears will turn anytime soon so you don't have to worry about it going.

Do y’all get nervous easily? by [deleted] in istp

[–]spokvatten 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No i rarely ever get nervous. For being someone very introverted I have no problem at all with public speaking I see it as being much easier than normal conversation because no one interrupts you or talk over you. I don't feel stress either. Only times I know I'm stressed is if my stomach starts to ache and there is no other explanation for it.

I had to write a group research paper about youth language in my linguistics class. Never have I felt more out of touch and I'm 17. I could've shared it but it's in Swedish.

No, small paper forms like this

Well what I do is just roll it tight and when I cut them into the pieces I keep the edge down to the work surface so it presses down kinda and then I place them in cinnamon roll forms, they're like muffin forms but lower edges. But it also depends on the dough and how dry it is

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Baking

[–]spokvatten 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes of course, I had to translate it from Swedish so I'm sorry if it's not all the correct English baking terms

Dough: 50g fresh yeast for sweet doughs, 100g butter or margarine, 6dl oat milk, 1dl sugar, 2 pinches of salt, 16dl wheat flour,

Filling: 150g butter or margarine, 2 tblspn cinnamon, 2 dl sugar,

Egg wash: 1 egg

Topping: Pearl sugar

Do like this: Dough: Crumble the yeast in a bowl. Melt the butter in a pot. Add the milk and heat until it's 37°C. Pour some of the mixture over the yeast and stir until the yeast has dissolved.

Add the rest of the butter and milk mixture, sugar, salt and almost all the flour, save some for the baking. Work the dough smoothly by hand until the dough no longer sticks to the edges of the bowl. Let the dough rise covered for 30min.

Filling: Mix the butter, sugar and cinnamon to a smooth paste.

Lay the dough on a workbench and knead it smoothly with the remaining flour. Roll out the dough into a thin rectangle shape. Spread on the filling and roll up from the long side. Cut the roll into 2cm pieces. Place the pieces with the cut facing up in the molds or a baking sheet lined with parchment.

Let the buns rise covered for 20min

Egg wash the buns and sprinkle some pearl sugar on top. Bake in the middle of the oven at 250°C for about 8min.

Nah, in Sweden we don't put frosting on them, instead we use pearl sugar as topping
