CARDAMOM KNOTS



Cardamom Knots image

These Swedish morning buns, also known as *Kardemummabullar*, are traditionally paired with coffee and have an amazing floral and delicately peppery flavor.

Provided by Martha Collison

Categories     HarperCollins     HarperCollins     Pastry     Bake     Cardamom     Bread     Breakfast     Brunch     Sweden

Yield Makes 12 buns

Number Of Ingredients 17

Dough:
50g (3 1/2 Tbsp) butter, cubed
250ml (1 cup) whole milk
500g (1 lb) white bread flour, plus extra for dusting
1 (7g) packet fast-acting dried yeast
1 tsp fine salt
50g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cardamom
Oil, for greasing
Cardamom filling:
150g (10 1/2 Tbsp) butter, softened
100g (1/2 cup packed) soft dark brown sugar
2 tsp ground cardamom
Cardamom syrup:
50g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
Pearl sugar, to decorate (optional)

Steps:

  • Start by making the dough. Place the cubed butter in a small saucepan with the milk. Heat over a low heat until the cubes of butter have completely melted, then remove from the heat and set to one side to allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes.
  • Place the flour in a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough-hook attachment, and add the yeast to one side of the bowl and the salt, sugar and cardamom to the other. If you put the salt directly on the yeast it may kill it, which will stop your dough from rising.
  • Gradually pour the warm butter and milk into the bowl with the flour,mixing all the time, using your hands or the dough-hook attachment, until a sticky dough forms. You may not need to add all the milk mixture, or you might need to add a little more milk - you want to add just enough to make a sticky but not wet dough.
  • Dust your worktop lightly with flour, tip the dough out on to it and knead it for 5-10 minutes (or knead using the dough hook on the stand mixer) until the dough is no longer sticky and has become smooth and elastic. Grease the bowl in which you mixed the dough with oil, place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a tea towel or cling film and leave to rise at room temperature for 1-3 hours or until doubled in size. You can leave the dough to prove in the fridge overnight if you want these for breakfast!
  • While the dough is rising, combine the filling ingredients in a small bowl to make a thick paste. Line 2 baking trays with baking parchment.
  • Tip the risen dough out of the bowl on to a worktop lightly dusted with flour and fold it in on itself a couple of times to knock out any large air pockets.
  • Roll out the dough thinly to make a very large rectangle measuring roughly 50 x 30cm. Spread the cardamom filling mixture all over the dough, making sure it goes right to the edges.
  • Fold one of the short ends over two-thirds of the dough, then fold the remaining third over - as if you are folding a letter or making puff pastry. You should have one neat rectangle consisting of three layers of dough, and all the filling should be enclosed inside.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 12 even strips. Taking one of the strips, stretch out and twist it a few times. Tie it into a loose knot, tucking the edges in. Place the knot on a lined baking tray and repeat with the remaining strips, arranging them on the tray and leaving a few centimeters between each. Leave for 45 minutes at room temperature to rise again.
  • While the knots are proving, preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Make the cardamom syrup by bringing the sugar, ground cardamom and 50ml of water to the boil in a small saucepan and letting it bubble for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat.
  • Bake the buns for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown, then brush with the cardamom syrup as soon as they come out of the oven. Sprinkle with pearl sugar, if you wish, and serve warm.

GARLIC KNOTS



Garlic Knots image

Garlic knots are a beloved classic pizzeria snack that can easily be recreated at home. Start with premade dough from the supermarket or buy it straight from your neighborhood pizza joint. For best results, the dough needs to rest - or "rise" - twice. The first resting period achieves a dough that is pliable and easy to roll out and shape. Once formed into knots, the dough rests a second time, allowing it to relax after being stretched and shaped, resulting in a more tender and fluffier garlic knot. But it's the garlic butter that's the star here. Cook the garlic slow and low, since frying it too fast will make it bitter, then toss it with the knots. For a cheesy twist, sprinkle some grated Parmesan over the glossy rolls.

Provided by Kay Chun

Categories     finger foods, appetizer

Time 3h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound prepared pizza dough, thawed if frozen
All-purpose flour, for dusting
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
Kosher salt
Parmesan, for finishing (optional)
Warmed marinara sauce, for dipping

Steps:

  • Divide dough into 2 equal pieces and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet a few inches apart. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until softened and pliable, about 1 hour.
  • Working with one piece at a time, use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll dough into a 6-inch square on a lightly floured surface. Cut into six 1-inch strips. Roll one strip to form a rope about 8 inches long, then tie into a single knot. Transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining strips and second piece of dough, arranging the knots a few inches apart on the baking sheet. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand until puffed and doubled in size, about 2 hours.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Bake knots until golden on bottom, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, cook butter and oil over low heat until butter melts. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and very fragrant, about 5 minutes. Scrape butter mixture into a large bowl, then stir in parsley and season with salt.
  • In batches, toss the warm knots in the garlic butter until well coated. Sprinkle with Parmesan, if desired, and serve with marinara sauce.

3 tablespoons granulated sugar (I use vanilla sugar, check out my recipe)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure orange extract
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon freshly grated fresh lemon rind
1 teaspoon freshly grated orange rind
3 tablespoons cognac
1/2 cup sour cream
4 -5 cups flour
melted Crisco, mixed with
lard, if kosher just use crisco
powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs and egg yolks together until thick and lemon colored.
  • Add the melted butter, sugar, salt, extracts, citrus rinds, cognac, and sour cream and beat until creamy and smooth.
  • Add enough flour gradually to produce a thick, fairly stiff dough.
  • Turn out onto a floured board and knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough is elastic and can be handled easily.
  • Roll pieces of dough 1/8 inch thin (should be able to see through them) and cut into strips about 3 inches long and 2 inches wide.
  • Cut the ends on a diagonal.
  • Slit each piece in the center and pull one end through the slit.
  • Heat the crisco and lard to 375 degrees and fry the dough strips, until lightly browned (about 1 minute) Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  • (SHHHHHHHHHHH!) Sneak 1 or 2 while frying!

CINNAMON KNOTS

Provided by Kelsey Nixon

Time 2h40m

Yield 18 knots

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 recipe Simple Pizza Dough, recipe follows
16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
4 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Bench flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 3/4 cups warm water (105 to 110 degrees F)
1 envelope active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
2 teaspoons sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups bread flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons salt
Nonstick spray

Steps:

  • Prepare the recipe for Simple Pizza Dough. While the dough is rising, prepare the remaining ingredients for the cinnamon knots and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Mix the butter with sugar and cinnamon.
  • Turn the risen dough out onto a floured surface. Stretch the dough into a rectangle. Spread half of the butter mixture on half of the dough. Then fold the dough in half, covering the butter with the dough.
  • Using a pizza wheel, divide the dough into 18 strips. First cut through the middle, then you can cut each half into 9 pieces. Stretch each strip and tie into a knot and tuck the ends underneath the center of the knot. Place the knots onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, melt the remaining butter.
  • Once the knots come out of the oven, baste them with the melted butter. Serve warm and enjoy!
  • In a liquid measuring cup, combine the warm water, yeast and sugar. Allow the yeast to dissolve and bloom, about 5 minutes. Once bloomed, add the olive oil.
  • Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour and salt. Stream in the water/yeast mixture and as the dough begins to come together, switch to a dough hook attachment. Allow the dough to knead, adding a bit more flour if needed, so that the dough releases from the sides of the bowl, 1 to 3 minutes. You should be able to touch the dough and not have the dough stick to your fingers. Once the dough has kneaded and has pulled away from the sides of the bowl, remove the dough from bowl to a floured work surface and, with floured hands, continue to knead it by hand for 1 to 2 minutes. Then form the dough into a round ball and place it into a large bowl sprayed with nonstick spray. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean dish towel and let the dough rise in a warm area of your kitchen until it doubles in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. After the dough has risen it is ready to be cooked however you'd like!
  • Cook's Notes: This dough is wet dough, keep bench flour at the ready and make sure to flour your hands when working with the dough. Trust your gut as a chef, if the dough is to wet, add more flour, if it is too stiff, add a little water.
  • Sugar is used to feed the yeast which will help the dough to grow. Bread flour will give you a chewier texture because the flour has more gluten. You don't need to use a thermometer to get the water temperature; it should just feel warm to the touch.
