Swedish Cinnamon Buns
Baking and Desserts • Swedish
Description
A national treasure of Sweden, a symbol and the quintessence of the Swedish way of life. There is even a special day dedicated to the cinnamon bun, specifically October 4th: Cinnamon Bun Day. Every year, on this day alone, 7,000,000 buns are sold — in a country with a population of 10 million. By the way, the sweet rolls that the character invented by a common American author named Astrid would enjoy are indeed these cinnamon buns.
Ingredients

- Dry yeast 0 oz
- Sugar 10 oz
- Salt ½ spoons
- Wheat Flour 30 oz
- Butter 5 oz
- Ground Cinnamon 2 spoons
- Whole egg 1 piece
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Heat the milk to 100°F; it should be warm, not hot. Dissolve the yeast in the milk. Add melted butter (100 grams), salt, and 110 grams of sugar.
Step 2
Knead the dough, gradually adding flour. The dough should be elastic and come away from your hands; the longer you knead, the better it will be. Cover the dough with a towel and let it rest for about thirty to fifty minutes.
Step 3
Knead the dough and roll it out to a thickness of 3 mm. Brush with melted butter (50 g), generously sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, then fold in half. Cut the dough into long strips about 2.5 cm wide.
Step 4
Taking one end of the strip, roll the dough into a bun that resembles a snail or a rose.
Step 5
Brush the buns with lightly beaten egg yolk. Bake in a preheated oven at 430°F for about fifteen minutes.
