Method

  1. 1

    Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm milk. Add the eggs, sugar, spices, and part of the flour. Mix the dough until smooth.

  2. 2

    Gradually knead the remaining flour into the dough until it releases from the sides of the bowl. Finally, add the melted Oivariini.

  3. 3

    Allow the dough to rise under a cloth in a draft-free place until doubled in size.

  4. 4

    Roll out the dough into two sheets measuring 60 x 30 cm.

  5. 5

    Spread the softened Oivariini onto the sheets. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on top.

  6. 6

    Roll up the dough sheets starting from the long side. Leave the seam underneath. Cut the rolls diagonally with a sharp knife into triangular pieces. Set the pieces upright with the narrow side facing up.

  7. 7

    Press the narrow part down to the table with your fingers. This causes the cut sides to flare upwards. Let rise under a cloth.

  8. 8

    Brush the risen buns with egg. Sprinkle crushed almonds or pearl sugar on top.

  9. 9

    Bake in the middle of the oven at 225 degrees for about 8 min.
