Rosenbröd recipe - Swedish bread roll recipe

Today for breakfast I wanted to bake Swedish "Rosenbröd". That's a a bread roll made of yeast dough and really delicious! I eat them when they still warm but not hot and put some salted butter on it. Be sure to be addicted ;)

Here is what you need for approx. 13-15 bread rolls:

25 g butter

2.5 dl milk

25 g yeast

0.5 tsk sugar

1 tsk salt

6.5 dl flour

1 egg

Melt the butter in a pot and add the milk. Let it cool down a little bit as the yeast will die when it's too hot. Crumble the yeast into it and stir. Add the sugar and the salt and finally the flour and knead the dough until it feels smooth and has an elastic stretch. You might need to add more flour, but be careful don't add to much if you don't want to have stones ;).

Put the dough into a bowl and cover the bowl with a clean dish towel and place it in a warm draught free place for approx. 50 Minutes. The warmth will cause the dough to rise. Preheat the oven to 250 °C.

Now you can form small rolls, but take care to not form them too big, as the dough will rise again. Place them on a backing plate that is covered with backing paper and use scissors to cut a cross on the top. Cover the entire backing plate again with a clean dish towel and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.

Beat a whole egg in a bowl and use a baking brush to apply the egg wash to the rolls. Bake in the oven for approx. 10 minutes. (The colour should be like the one in the picture above.)

Hope you like it as much as I do!

Kram,
