The cinnamon rolls Kanelbullar Swedish buns, rolled and deliciously flavoured with a spicy cardamom blend.
What is Kanelbullar?
You certainly know them better as "Cinnamon rolls" but basically they are Kanelbullar, a Swedish specialty.
These cinnamon rolls kanelbullar will leave a delicious scent in your home.
Also, they contain cardamom which goes perfectly with cinnamon.
For my part, I don't like it when it's too spicy, so I always reduce the amount of cinnamon, even though it is essential to this recipe.
And if you like rolled buns, then you should definitely try this other recipe of chocolate rolls buns!

How to make the cinnamon rolls Kanelbullar?
- To start, rehydrate the dry baker's yeast in warm milk with a little sugar and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Then during this time, in your stand mixer, mix together the egg, sugar, butter and add the ground cardamom and cinnamon powder.
- Then add the milk containing the diluted dry yeast and while letting the stand mixer with turn, finish by adding the flour.
- Finally, mix until the dough is homogeneous. (it should start to come away from the sides but still remains a little sticky)
- And, with a dough scraper bowl, remove the dough from the bowl and place it in a bowl covered with a cloth.
- Then, let the dough grow at room temperature for 1h30 to 2 hours. (the dough must double in volume, you can let it grow in the oven at 45°C or let it grow overnight in the fridge).
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling by mixing all the ingredients together.
How to shaping the cinnamon rolls Kanelbullar :
- First, on a floured work surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangle.
- Then spread the filling over the entire surface.
- Finally, fold the dough in 3 (in a wallet - see photos).
- And, roll out the dough again with a roller to widen it a little.
- then cut small strips with a knife or a pizza cutter wheel.
- Then cut again in the middle of each strip leaving a few centimeters on the edge.
- Twist these two pieces of dough (see photos below) and roll them up to form a bun or a snail. (which seems simplest to you).
- Finally, place on a baking tray covered with a baking sheet and let it grow again for 30 minutes - 1 hour.
- Finish by applying a layer of egg gilding with a pastry brush.
