St Lucia Saffron Rolls
About 35 buns
Ingredients
·
5 dl milk
·
50g yeast
· 1 1/2 dl sugar
· 1 1/2 dl sugar
·
1 g saffron
·
17 dl unbleached
all-purpose flour, or more as needed
·
1/2-1 tsp ground cardamom
·
1/2 tsp salt
·
250 g kesella
1 150 g butter
1 150 g butter
·
Garnish
1 large egg, lightly beaten for eggwash
Directions
1. Heat the milk in a
small saucepan just until warm. Remove from the heat. Combine 1 dl of the milk,
the yeast, and a pinch of the sugar in a small bowl and let sit for 10 minutes,
or until bubbly. Combine another 2 tablespoons of the milk, 1 teaspoon of the
sugar, and the saffron in a small bowl, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Set the
remaining milk aside. Melt the butter and cool down.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups of
the flour, the remaining sugar, the cardamom, and salt. Make a well in the
center and pour in the yeast mixture, the dissolved saffron, and the remaining
milk and melted butter. Stir with a wooden spoon, gradually adding more flour as necessary, until
a soft dough forms.
4. Shape the dough into a ball. Put it in a
large, lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat, and cover with a kitchen towel. Let
rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until doubled in bulk.
6. Preheat the oven to 225 degrees Celcius.
