Ingredients

• 240 ml Whole milk
• 60 g Unsalted butter
• 50 g Granulated sugar
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1.5 tsp Ground cardamom
• 400 g All-purpose flour
• 2.25 tsp Instant yeast
• 75 g Softened unsalted butter (filling)
• 50 g Brown sugar (filling)
• 1 tsp Ground cardamom (filling)
• 1 piece Egg (for egg wash)
• 15 ml Water (for egg wash)
• 2 tbsp Pearl sugar or granulated sugar (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Add the milk, melted butter, sugar, salt, and ground cardamom to the bread machine's pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.

Step 2

Add the flour on top of the liquid ingredients, ensuring it covers them completely. Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the instant yeast.

Step 3

Select the dough cycle on your bread machine and press start. Allow the dough to mix, knead, and rise until the cycle is complete (approximately 1.5 hours).

Step 4

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by mixing the softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cardamom in a small bowl until well combined.

Step 5

Once the dough cycle completes, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it out into a large rectangle, approximately 30x40 cm.

Step 6

Spread the cardamom filling evenly over the dough, covering the surface entirely.

Step 7

Fold the dough into thirds, like a letter, by folding one third over the center and then the remaining third on top. You should now have a smaller rectangle.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the folded dough into 12 strips.

Step 9

Take each strip and twist it several times, then tie it into a loose knot. Tuck the ends underneath to secure the shape.

Step 10

Place the shaped rolls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each roll. Cover them with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for 30 minutes until puffy.

Step 11

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

Step 12

Prepare the egg wash by whisking together the egg and water in a small bowl.

Step 13

Brush each roll with the egg wash and sprinkle with pearl sugar or granulated sugar.

Step 14

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 15

Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
