Kanelbullar Swedish Cinnamon Buns
Kanelbullar are Swedish cinnamon buns made with a cardamom-spiced dough and twisted into knots rather than rolls. The cardamom and cinnamon combination is absolutely delicious and they tend to be a bit less sweet than American cinnamon buns even before icing is factored in. We experimented with making these buns using sourdough versus instant yeast, as well as 100% whole grain flours versus 25% whole grain flour and 75% all purpose flour. The results were delicious across the board but indeed quite different.
