Recipe - Boller (Sweet Buns)

1 One half cup Milk
1 One half ounce Fresh yeast
3 ounce Butter
4 cup Wheat flour
One half cup Sugar
2 teaspoon Ground cardamom
Raisins to taste
12 cups? (optional)
Egg to glaze

Melt butter, cool to lukewarm. Heat milk to lukewarm, about 37 C (100 F).
Stir the yeast into the milk (or mix dry yeast into the flour). Add sugar
and cardamom (and raisins if you use them) to the flour. Add milk and yeast
mixture. Add melted and cooled butter. Stir well until dough is shiny and
pliable. Add a little more flour if dough is too sticky. Cover dough with
plastic wrap and let stand in a warm place until risen to double in bulk,
about 45 60 minutes. Stop here if you are making kringle. Knead dough
lightly, roll with your hands into a long sausage and divide into 24 equal
parts. Shape each piece into a round ball. Place on greased baking sheet
and let rise about 20 minutes. Brush with beaten egg. Bake on the middle
rack of the oven until they are nicely browned with pale sides. 250 C (475
F) 810 minutes. Walt MM
