Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, dry yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.

  2. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the lukewarm milk and melted butter. Stir the mixture until a dough forms.

  3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for around 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

  4. Place the dough back in the mixing bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rest in a warm place for about an hour or until it has doubled in size.

  5. Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).

  6. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into small portions. Shape each portion into a round bun and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

  7. Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown.

  8. Serve the warm buns with a side of lingonberry jam, sliced cucumbers, cheese, hard-boiled eggs, and smoked salmon for a classic Swedish breakfast experience.

  9. Enjoy your Swedish breakfast buns alongside a cup of freshly brewed coffee or traditional Swedish tea for the perfect morning indulgence.

  10. Store any leftover buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze them for longer shelf life.
