Editing How to Bake Swedish Style Cinnamon Rolls (Kanelbullar)



Swedish style cinnamon rolls, also known as Kanelbullar, are a delicious pastry that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack. Here's how you can bake them at home:

Ingredients:
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 packet of active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
- 1/3 cup of sugar
- 1/2 tsp of salt
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup of melted butter
- 4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup of cinnamon
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup of softened butter

For the glaze:
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 1-2 tbsp of milk
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Warm the milk in a saucepan until it reaches 100-110°F. Pour the milk into a large mixing bowl, and sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

2. Add the sugar, salt, egg, and melted butter to the mixing bowl, and whisk until combined.

3. Gradually add the flour to the mixing bowl while stirring with a wooden spoon. Mix until the dough comes together and forms a ball.

4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.

5. Place the dough in a large greased bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

6. Preheat your oven to 375°F.

7. In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon, sugar, and softened butter to make the filling.

8. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

9. Spread the filling over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

10. Roll the dough up tightly from the long edge, and slice it into rolls about 1 inch thick.

11. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about an inch between each one.

12. Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

13. While the rolls are baking, make the glaze by mixing together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.

14. Once the rolls are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

15. Drizzle the glaze over the rolls, and serve them warm. Enjoy!
