CINNAMON ROLLS (KANELBULLAR) FROM CARDAMOM BREAD DOUGH RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare your Basic Cardamom Bread Dough using the first 7 ingredients listed above (this takes about 1 1/2 hours).
• BASIC CARDAMOM BREAD DOUGH DIRECTIONS:.
• Heat milk to a light boil, turning off heat when it reaches the scalding point (with small bubbles across the top). Stir in melted butter, sugar, salt, and ground cardamom.
• Let mixture COOL until "finger-warm" (still warm, but cool enough to touch). Stir in yeast and let sit for 10 minutes. VERY IMPORTANT: The milk should be LUKEWARM (or fingerwarm) and the yeast will double itself nicely! If the milk mixture is too hot, it will kill the yeast properties!
• Add flour into mixture 1/2 cup at a time until dough is firm and pulls away from the side of your mixing bowl (Tip: If using a stand mixer, exchange the mixing paddle for the dough hook after you've added the first 5 cups of flour. Use the dough hook to mix and knead the dough as you add the remaining 3-4 cups of flour).
• Cover the dough in the mixing bowl with a clean towel and let rise until doubled, about an hour.
• Punch down the dough, then remove from bowl.
• Knead lightly on floured counter until smooth and shiny. Divide dough into two halves.
• CINNAMON ROLL DIRECTIONS:
• Roll each half of dough into a 12" by 18" rectangle. Brush each rectangle well with melted butter. Combine 2/3 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over the 2 rectangles. Roll each rectangle crosswise, like a jelly roll, to form an 18"-long cylinder.
• Using a sharp or serrated knife, cut each cylinder into 20 equal slices.
• Place each slice into a paper cupcake wrapper and place on baking sheet. Cover with towel and allow to double in size, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425º.
• Brush risen cinnamon rolls with egg wash and sprinkle with pearl sugar and / or almonds. Place in the middle of a preheated oven and bake for 7 minutes, or until done.
• Yield: 40 cinnamon rolls.
