Recipe Card
For the Dough
ingredients
- 3.3 oz sourdough starter (fed)
- 3 1/2 tablespoon dry yeast
- 1 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black cardamom
- 1 teaspoon ground green cardamom
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup granulated brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/4 cup muscovado sugar
- 2/3 cup butter, at room temperature
- 3 1/2 - 4 cups whole wheat pastry flour or all-purpose flour
For the Filling
ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup granulated brown sugar
- 1/4 cup muscavado sugar
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black cardamom
- 1 tablespoon blue poppy seeds (optional)
For the Egg Wash
ingredients
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoon milk
- Pinch of vanilla extract
Method
Step 1
our milk into a small pot and warm over low-medium heat until the milk is mildly warm (about 68℉ - 77℉). Add cardamom, sourdough starter, and yeast (if using). Stir contents and set aside for 10 min.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk butter for appr. 1 minute. Gradually add sugar to the bowl whilst whisking at low speed. Pour milk/starter mixture into the bowl and gently combine with your spatula or wooden spoon. Add flour and salt to the mix and combine until flour is fully incorporated.
Step 3
If using a Kitchen Aid mixer, work the dough for about 7 minutes until it looks very smooth and doesn't stick to the sides of the bowl. If using your hand, work the dough for about 10-15 min until it feels quite smooth. Knead dough on a clean surface and shape into a round ball.
Step 4
Return shaped dough into large bowl. Cover the bowl with a plastic film or clean kitchen cloth, and refrigerate for overnight.
Step 5
Prepare your filling by whisking all ingredients (except poppy seeds) in a small bowl until the texture is light and fluffy.
Step 6
When ready to bake, set your oven to 435℉. Remove dough from the fridge and pour out onto a clean floured surface. Divide dough into two equal halves. Roll out each half into large equally-sized rectangular sheets. On one half only, spread your filling evenly across the rolled out dough. Sprinkle poppy seeds (if using) over the spread-out filling. Carefully, place the other half of the dough on top of the filling pasted dough. Sort of like creating a sandwich with the filling in the middle.
Step 7
Shape your buns as you please. There are several links online, as well as youtube videos demonstrating the various ways you can shape your buns.
Step 8
Place buns on a lined baking sheet. Whisk your egg wash ingredients together and brush each bun on all sides.
Step 9
Bake in oven for 12-15 minutes - until golden brown.
