Swedish home made "kanelbullar"/"bullar" recipe

Ingredients

38-40 bullar, 200 C 8-10 min

Dough
5 dl milk or almond drink
          - you can switch this to 3 dl almond drink + 2 dl oatly imat. imat is used instead of cream for a great taste, but is not necessarily.
150 g of butter or margarine
50 g of yeast (1 package)

Wheat flour
          - original amout is 13 dl flour, i always mesure by feeling and consistency.
1 dl sugar
1 ml mesuring spoon of clove/dianthus caryophy or cardamom
1 ml mesuring spoon of salt
          - I don't like to use much salt, you can use a little bit more if you like.

Filling: 
liquid butter and rape seed oil
          - I use this one from Arla because we always have it at home and it is easy to apply without
          having to melt butter, but regular butter or margarine is fine too.
sugar
cinnamon
cardemom
clove/dianthus caryophy

Topping:
1 egg
pearl sugar

Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl exept for wheat flour. In a pan melt butter and add the cold liquid (milk). Dip your finger it should be 37 C, if not, heat it up just a bit. Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm liquid. Pour it over the dry ingredients. Start adding flour while you stir with a wooden spatula/scoop. To get really fluffy bullar the secret is you must not add too much flour. The flour is enough when the dough loosens from the edges of the bowl and feels like a soft belly :-)

Let prove under a baking cloth for 30 min.
work the dough a little bit with a small amout of flour. Split in 4 equal pieces. Flatten each piece in a rectangle or somewhat square shape with a rolling pin. Thickness around 3-4 mm is enough. Brush with the liquid butter then sprinkle the spices over so it covers the surface. Roll the dough like a rolled/stuffed away carpet. Cut the roll in somewhat 2,5 cm wide pieces. Put each piece in little paper molds (the ones used for muffins/cupcakes/bullar etc). You can now turn on the oven. Add baking cloth again and let prove for another 30 min.

Once they have rised properly brush them with egg and add pearl sugar. Put in oven for 8-10 min. The surface should be a tad golden brown when ready.
