Yield Makes about 15 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 15

For dough
1 1/4 cups warm water (105°F.)
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
two 1/4-ounce packages active dry yeast (about 4 1/2 teaspoons total)
3 large eggs beaten lightly
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup powdered nonfat dry milk
5 to 6 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons cardamom seeds, ground in a mortar with a pestle, or in an electric spice/coffee grinder
an egg wash made by beating 1 large egg with 2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Make dough:
  • In a large bowl combine water, butter, and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over mixture and let stand 5 minutes, or until foamy. Stir in eggs, salt and dry milk until combined. With a wooden spoon stir in 5 sups flour, 1 cup at a time, and stir mixture until a dough is formed.
  • On a floured surface, knead dough about 10 minutes, adding enough of the remaining 1 cup flour to make dough smooth and elastic. Put dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat, and let rise, covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
  • Punch down dough and on floured surface with a floured rolling pin roll into a 15- by 20-inch rectangle. Spread butter over dough and sprinkle with granulated sugar, cinnamon and cardamom.
  • With a long side facing you, roll up dough jelly-roll fashion and cut crosswise into approximately 1 1/2-inch-thick slices with a cut side down. Working with 1 slice at a time gently twist opposite ends of slice around twice to form a figure eight. Crimp ends together. Arrange rolls, a swirled side up, on a buttered baking sheet about 2 inches apart and let rise in a warm place until increased 1 1/2 times in bulk, about 1 hour.
  • While rolls are rising, preheat oven to 350F.
  • Brush tops of rolls with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Bake rolls in middle of oven until tops are pale golden, about 25 minutes.

Tips for Perfect Swedish Cardamom Rolls:

- Use fresh yeast for the best results. - Activate the yeast in warm milk with a little sugar before adding it to the dough. This will help it work properly and give your rolls a light and fluffy texture. - Don't over-knead the dough. Over-kneading can make the rolls tough. Knead the dough just until it comes together and is smooth and elastic. - Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1-2 hours. - Roll out the dough thinly before filling it. This will help ensure that the rolls are evenly cooked. - Brush the rolls with melted butter before baking. This will give them a golden brown crust. - Serve the rolls warm with your favorite toppings, such as sugar, cinnamon, or jam.

Conclusion:

Swedish cardamom rolls are a delicious and aromatic pastry that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With these tips, you can make perfect Swedish cardamom rolls every time.
