Ingredients

• 500mL milk, 2-3%
• 50 grams fresh yeast
• 2 eggs
• 175mL sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 3 teaspoons cardamom, brown, ground
• 200 grams butter
• 1 kg all-purpose flour

Method

• Dissolve yeast in lukewarm milk.
• Combine the yeast mixture with eggs, sugar, salt and cardamom.
• Gradually, 1 cup at a time, add about two thirds of the flour and knead.
• Add butter and knead until well combined.
• Continue to knead the dough, and gradually add just enough flour so the dough comes clean off the sides of the bowl and doesn't stick to your hand.
• Shape into a ball and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour, or until it's double in size.
• Overworking the dough or adding too much flour will result hard buns instead of soft and firm.
