Instructions
1-Gathering Your Ingredients and Tools: Let’s get to it start by pulling together all your ingredients and tools for Kanelbullar! This first step is all about mise-en-place, which means getting everything measured and ready so your baking flows smoothly. Grab a large mixing bowl, a rolling pin, and a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to keep things easy.
Measure out the 200 grams of cocoa powder, 300 milliliters of milk, and the rest as listed. This prep helps you avoid any rush and ensures your Kanelbullar come out just right for home bakers.
2-Mixing the Dry Ingredients: Now, dive into mixing the dry stuff first combine the 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 150 grams of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in your bowl. Stir them well to blend evenly, which sets the base for that perfect flaky texture.
This step is crucial for even distribution, and you can adapt it for dietary needs by swapping flour if needed. Keep things light and fun as you work!
3-Incorporating the Wet Ingredients: Next up, add the wet ingredients to your dry mix pour in the 300 milliliters of milk, 100 grams of melted butter, and 2 large eggs. Stir everything together until it forms a smooth dough, which takes about 5 minutes of gentle mixing.
Be sure to mix at room temperature for the best results, and if you’re going vegan, swap in plant-based alternatives here. This creates a dough that’s easy to handle and full of flavor.
4-Shaping and Baking the Buns: Once your dough is ready, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick. Spread a cinnamon-sugar mixture over it though we’re using the provided ingredients, imagine adding that classic Kanelbullar twist for extra yum!
Roll it up, slice into buns, and place them on your baking sheet. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes, watching for that golden brown color. This timing ensures they’re flaky and delicious, adaptable for gluten-free versions too.
5-Final Touches and Serving: For the finishing step, let your Kanelbullar cool for a few minutes before serving warm. Add a dusting of sugar or a simple glaze if you like, and pair with coffee for the ultimate treat.
