There is a bakery on almost every corner in Oslo. The locals meet there for coffees, lunch or a catch up with friends. Yesterday I tried to make these myself. I did a classic recipe, but there is also popular variations of “Boller” with chopped chocolate or raisins. I prefer them with homemade jam! Try Kate´s Apple and Strawberry jam.
- 1 sachet dry yeast or 1 pack fresh yeast.
- 2 1/2 cup milk
- 200g butter
- 4-5 cups flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tsp cardamom
- 1 tsp vanilla sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
Add yeast to a bowl or a kitchen aid. Melt butter and add milk. when liquid is 37 degrees, combine with the yeast and stir well. Mix all dry ingredients and add gently while stirring. Knead well, the dough is quite moist to work with. Let it rise to double size (at least for an hour). Divide the dough into 24 parts and roll them gently until they are smooth and round. Put on a tray and preheat oven to 225 degrees. Let the rolls rise again for about 30 min. Brush them with a whipped egg and bake them for 12 min. let cool on a wire rack.
