Possibly the best cinnamon roll recipe


After countless trials, I think we have finally arrived at the best cinnamon roll recipe ever. The key is to use onaka (yogurt) and sour dough. The recipe is a mix of a neighborhood bakery in Stockholm and our own. Mmmmm.

Ingredients: A) For the dough - 30g of yeast, 200g of butter, 500g of onaka (yogurt or milk), 150g of sugar, 1 tea spoon of salt, 1,100g of flour, 50g of sour dough, 20g of cardamom. B) For the filling - 150g of butter, 20g of cinnamon, and 100g of sugar.

Steps: 1) Melt the butter over heat and mix with onaka, to make a body temperature medium. 2) Break the yeast into pieces, and mix with 1), sugar, salt, flour, sour dough, and cardamom; then let it rest for 1 hour. 3) Mix the filling, then knead the dough flat and fill with filling mix; fold it 3 times, then cut into strips to be rounded up into rolls. 4) After letting it rise for 30-45 minutes, bake in a 200 degree oven for 12-15 minutes.

Best way to eat is when warm or heated up in microwave with a cold glass of milk, or bring it to your next excursion with hot coffee on a boat or kayak!
