Description

These Cardamom Rolls are a delightful Scandinavian-inspired treat that fills your kitchen with an intoxicating, floral aroma. Using a rich dough base, the rolls are kneaded with freshly crushed cardamom seeds for a burst of authentic flavor that complements the soft, pillowy texture. Whether shaped into traditional kaiser knots or elegant brioche-style domes, they bake up golden and glossy thanks to a final egg wash. Perfect for a cozy weekend breakfast, an afternoon coffee break, or as a sophisticated side for holiday meals, these homemade rolls bring a touch of international elegance to your table. They pair beautifully with whipped cheese, jam, or simply enjoyed warm with a cup of tea.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Remove the seeds from 8 whole cardamom pods and crush them finely using a mortar and pestle, or by placing them in a small bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
  2. Prepare your bread dough according to your preferred recipe or starter method, ensuring it is smooth and elastic.
  3. Flatten the ball of dough on a lightly floured surface.
  4. Sprinkle the crushed cardamom seeds evenly over the surface of the dough.
  5. Knead the dough thoroughly until the cardamom seeds are fully incorporated and evenly distributed throughout.
  6. Divide the dough into twelve equal pieces.
  7. Shape each piece as desired; you can form them into plain balls, use a Kaiser cutter to make a deep cross cut, or shape them into traditional brioche knots.
  8. If making brioche style, cut off a small piece of dough from each roll, form it into a tiny ball, and place it firmly on top of the larger roll before brushing with butter.
  9. Place the shaped rolls on a baking sheet and let them rise until light and puffy.
  10. Preheat the oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  11. Bake the rolls for about 20 minutes.
  12. Beat together one egg yolk and a splash of cream.
  13. About 5 minutes before the end of the baking time, brush the tops of the rolls generously with the egg yolk and cream mixture.
  14. Return to the oven and bake until the rolls are a deep, glossy golden brown.
  15. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving with whipped cheese or fresh fruit.
