Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, melted butter, salt, cardamom, cinnamon, and the yeast mixture.

  3. Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring well until a dough forms.

  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size.

  6. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  7. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal-sized pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

  8. Cover the buns with a towel and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.

  9. Brush the buns with beaten egg wash and sprinkle pearl sugar on top for a classic Danish touch.

  10. Bake the Juleboller Christmas Buns in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

  11. Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
