Buns Buns Buns!

Yes. Buns.
Cause I bought me a Kitchenaid I felt that I really had to use it right away, so I made buns with cinnamon and vanilla.

Ingredients:
50 grams yeast
5 dl soymilk
125 gram butter
2 dl sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cardamom
14-16 dl flour

Vanilla butter filling:
50 grams butter
1,5 dl sugar
3 tabelspoons vanilla
1 tabelspoon brown sugar

Cinnamon butter filling:
50 grams butter
1,5 dl sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 tablespoons cinnamon


Preparation Instructions:
Crumb the yeast into a big bowl.
Melt the butter and add the soymilk(I heat the soymilk a little before in the microwave, if you add the soymilk directly into the melted butter it could clump, and it's not so fun)
I'd recommend you to use an digital meat thermometer, so that you can get an exactly 37 C, that's when you get the best result.
Pour the milk mixture over the yeast and stir till the yeast has dissolved.
Then add the sugar, salt, cardamom and about half the flour and stir, then add some of the flour at the time, star with 1 dl till your up to 13 dl then start adding ½ dl till the dough is smooth, it shouldn't stick to the bowl or to anything, but it should still be a little sticky to the touch, but the dough shouldn't stick to your fingers.
Now you have to let it sit for 30 minutes while it rises.
Now you can mix together the fillings, mix until smooth.
When it has doubled in size, split it in two and roll into a rectangular and smear one of the butter fillings over it, now you can do two things either roll it into a clog and cut 1 cm slices that you put on a wax paper, or you do like I did, fold it in half and then slice it in 1 cm slices that you make a knot out of, I can't really help you with this step because I don't even know how I do mine.
But just think knot and take the slice and just wrap it around them selfs, just make sure that the two ends is safely secured and tugged in on the bottom of the bun, so that when you put it in the oven it won't unfold.
Now, when you have done this with all the dough it has to sit for another 30 minutes. Now is a good time to put on the oven 225 C or 427 F.

After 30 minutes it's time to pop the first baking plate into the oven, but before we do that we can if you'd like, to brush the buns with a mixture of ½ dl liquid butter and ½ dl oat cream and then sprinkle some pearl sugar on top, now just pop it in the oven.
Usually they should bake for about 8-10 minutes, but it depends on how big you've made them, I had to bake mine for 15 minutes. The key is to take them out when they are a little brownish on top and when it smells like buns in the room.

Cat approves!
