Cinnamon Rolls

Picture
WHAT YOU NEED:
DOUGH:
100 grams butter
500 ml milk
2 ½ tsp dry yeast (1 pkg)
½ tsp salt
150 ml sugar
1 Tbsp cardamom
1.3 liters flour, about
1 egg
Pearled sugar* or slivered almonds
FILLING:
100 g butter
100 dl sugar
2-4 Tbsp cinnamon
Nutella (optional)

​paper muffin cups

METHOD:
DOUGH:
​
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and cardamom. Melt the butter in a pan, and then add the milk and heat to room temperature. Add the butter mixture to the mixing bowl and stir until the yeast dissolves completely and get a little frothy. Add the salt. Add the flour a little at a time, just until the dough holds together, but no more. Adding all the flour will make the cinnamon rolls dry. Set the dough to rise in a warm, draft free spot. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth.  Let the dough rise for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.

FILLING:
In a separate bowl mix together the softened butter, sugar, cinnamon, and Nutella, until it is spreadable with a spatula. Adjust spice blend and Nutella to taste.

Preheat oven to 450° F (230° C).
Work more of the flour into the dough, if necessary, until it can be handled. Cut the dough into four pieces. With a rolling pin, roll out one piece at a time into a rectangular shape about ½ thick. Spread filling evenly over dough, thick enough that you cannot see through. Roll the dough longways, into a spiral tube, and cut it into 2-inch wide spirals. Place in each spiral, face up, in a paper cupcake liner on a cookie sheets. About 20 per sheet.
Let the rolls rise another 30 minutes.

Mix the egg with a splash of water. With a basting brush, brush the rolls with egg and sprinkle with pearled sugar or almonds.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. 

*Pearled sugar is hardened sugar crystals. You can find it at Scandinavian shops, some world market stores, or amazon. Most IKEA sells it as well.
