Zutaten

4 Personen

For the Dough:
500 g Flour
1 pkg. Vanilla sugar
0.25 tsp. Salt
200 ml Milk
10 g Fresh yeast
30 g Sugar
2 Eggs
50 g Butter, lukewarm
For the Filling:

50 ml Apple juice
2 tsp. Cinnamon
1 tsp. Cardamom

1.2 tsp. Lavender flowers

Preparation

Schritt 1

Begin by warming the milk until lukewarm. Mix the flour with salt and vanilla sugar, crumble the yeast into it, and add the sugar. Then dissolve everything in the lukewarm milk.

For the Dough:

g Flour

pkg. Vanilla sugar

tsp. Salt

ml Milk

g Fresh yeast

g Sugar

Schritt 2

Knead the flour mixture with the eggs and the yeast milk. Work in the lukewarm butter until a smooth dough forms, then cover the dough and let it rise for 1 hour.

Eggs

g Butter, lukewarm

Schritt 3

Meanwhile, melt the butter and mix it with the brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, and apple juice.

For the Filling:

g Butter

g Muscovado or brown sugar

ml Apple juice

tsp. Cinnamon

tsp. Cardamom

Schritt 4

Roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread it with the butter-sugar mixture. Roll up the dough from the long side and cut it into seven equally thick pieces. Place the pieces in a pot lined with parchment paper, cover with the lid, and let them rise for another 30 minutes. TIPP: The closed lid during baking ensures that the cinnamon rolls produce enough steam to rise properly. Once the lid is removed, the rolls can develop a beautiful golden brown color.

Schritt 5

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Whisk the egg yolk and brush the cinnamon rolls with it. Bake the cinnamon rolls in the pot with the lid closed for 15 minutes.
