Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 ml Whole milk
- 75 grams Unsalted butter
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 75 grams Granulated sugar
- 10 grams Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Heat the milk in a small saucepan until lukewarm (approximately 37°C or 98°F). Do not allow it to boil.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter until melted. Let the mixture cool to lukewarm temperature.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, ground cardamom, and salt.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and sprinkle the yeast into it.
Pour the lukewarm milk and butter mixture into the well, followed by the egg.
Mix the ingredients together by hand or using a stand mixer with a dough hook until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions.
Roll each portion into a ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each bun for rising.
Cover the buns with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Bake the boller in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
