Swedish Rolls Recipes

SWEDISH ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. Grease & dust pans with flour(I used the aluminum foil pans (4 13x9's).
• 2. Heat butter and milk on low in medium saucepan just to a boil. Add yeast and eggs to milk mixture. Pour milk mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add sugar, salt and cardamom. Add flour 1 cup at a time mixing well after each addition. Place dough in a clean greased bowl. Cover and let rise for 2 hours.
• 3. Place dough on a lightly floured surface. Roll into a rectangle about 1/2" thickness. Cut rolled dough into 6" strips. Roll dough to form bun. Place buns onto greased pans and let rise 15 minutes.
• 4. Bake in 350* oven for 15 minutes. While buns are still warm, brush with egg yolks and generously sprinkle with white sugar. 2 points per roll

SWEDISH CARDAMOM ROLLS

Steps:

• Make dough:
• In a large bowl combine water, butter, and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over mixture and let stand 5 minutes, or until foamy. Stir in eggs, salt and dry milk until combined. With a wooden spoon stir in 5 sups flour, 1 cup at a time, and stir mixture until a dough is formed.
• On a floured surface, knead dough about 10 minutes, adding enough of the remaining 1 cup flour to make dough smooth and elastic. Put dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat, and let rise, covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Punch down dough and on floured surface with a floured rolling pin roll into a 15- by 20-inch rectangle. Spread butter over dough and sprinkle with granulated sugar, cinnamon and cardamom.
• With a long side facing you, roll up dough jelly-roll fashion and cut crosswise into approximately 1 1/2-inch-thick slices with a cut side down. Working with 1 slice at a time gently twist opposite ends of slice around twice to form a figure eight. Crimp ends together. Arrange rolls, a swirled side up, on a buttered baking sheet about 2 inches apart and let rise in a warm place until increased 1 1/2 times in bulk, about 1 hour.
• While rolls are rising, preheat oven to 350F.
• Brush tops of rolls with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Bake rolls in middle of oven until tops are pale golden, about 25 minutes.

SWEDISH CABBAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. In bowl combine egg, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, onion and milk; mix well.
• 2. Add ground beef, ground pork and cooked rice; beat together with a fork.
• 3. Immerse cabbage leaves in boiling water for 3 minutes or just until limp; drain. The heavy center vein of leaf may be slit about 2 1/2 inches.
• 4. Place 1/2 cup meat mixture on each leaf, fold in sides and roll ends over meat. Place rolls in 12 x 7 1/2 x 2 inch baking dish.
• 5. Blend together soup, brown sugar and lemon juice; pour over cabbage rolls. Bake in moderate oven 350-degrees for 1 1/4 hours. Baste once or twice with sauce.
• 6. I always serve this dish with mashed potatoes. We then drizzle the tomato soup over the potatoes.

SWEDISH CARDAMOM ROLLS

Steps:

• Dough: Brush a large bowl with butter; set aside. Place potato in a small pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, 10 to 12 minutes; drain. Pass through a ricer or mash with a fork until smooth (to yield 2/3 cup); let cool slightly.
• Heat milk until warm to the touch (110 degrees on a thermometer). Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer; add yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Stir in butter, granulated sugar, potato, egg, flour, and salt until a ragged dough forms. Place bowl on mixer fitted with the dough-hook attachment; mix on medium-low speed, scraping sides and removing dough from hook a few times, until soft and pliable, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a lightly floured surface; knead into a ball. Transfer to buttered bowl (dough will be very soft) and cover with plastic wrap. (Dough can be covered and refrigerated at this point up to 2 days). Let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, 1 hour and 10 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. Brush two 6-cup jumbo muffin tins with butter; set aside.
• Filling: In a bowl, combine butter, granulated sugar, cardamom, orange zest, and salt. Mix until light and fluffy. Punch down dough; transfer to a lightly floured surface. Roll out to a 14-by-18-inch rectangle. Spread evenly with butter mixture, leaving a 1/2-inch border on far long edge. Starting at long edge closest to you, roll dough away from you into a tight jelly-roll shape. Transfer, seam-side down, to a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Trim ends, then cut roll crosswise into twelve 1 1/2-inch-thick rounds with a serrated knife. Arrange, cut-sides up, in prepared tins; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 8 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove rolls from refrigerator and place in a warm spot until almost doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove plastic and bake until browned on top and a thermometer inserted registers about 210 degrees, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in tins on a wire rack, 10 minutes.
• Glaze: Meanwhile, melt butter; stir in honey. Brush rolls generously with mixture; sprinkle with sanding sugar. Remove from tins (if buns stick, run a knife around edges), and let cool at least 20 minutes before serving.
