Preparation
- In a kneading machine, mix the mix, milk, and egg and knead for about 8 minutes until the dough is smooth. Add the soft butter and ground cardamom, and continue kneading until everything is fully incorporated.
- Shape the dough into a ball and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
- For the filling, mix the sugar and cinnamon into the soft butter until a homogeneous mixture forms.
- Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface into a square of about 45 x 45 cm. Spread the cinnamon-butter mixture evenly over the dough.
- Fold one-third of the dough towards the center and then fold the other third over it to form a rectangle. Gently roll the dough with a rolling pin to connect the layers. Cut the dough into 15 strips, each about 3 cm wide. Leave about 2 cm at one end of each strip and cut the rest of the strip up to that point.
- Take one strip and roll it into a bun. Twist the dough twice around your thumb and index finger, creating a knot shape. Tuck the end of the dough under the knot and place the Kanelbullar on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat the process for all strips.
- Cover the Kanelbullar and let them rest in a warm place for about 60 minutes. Brush the Kanelbullar with a beaten egg and sprinkle with pearl sugar.
- Bake the Kanelbullar in a preheated oven at 220°C (upper/lower heat) for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove the Kanelbullar from the oven and let them cool, or enjoy them while still warm.
