Jólasmábrauð

Christmas buns

Christmas rolls are, so to speak, a mixture of scones and Christmas stollen - they taste delicious, you just have to get up early if you want to serve Jólasmábrauð for breakfast.


Ingredients
 
500 ml milk
1 pack of dry yeast
50g melted butter
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp cardamom
50g oat flakes
400 g flour
5 0 g chopped walnuts
50 g lemon peel
50 g orange peel  
1 egg


Preparation

Warm the milk.

In a large bowl, mix the flour with the salt, cardamom and oat bran.

Add the dry yeast and pour in the warm milk and melted butter and mix everything thoroughly.

Add the chopped nuts, lemon peel and orange peel and knead everything well.

Let the dough rise, covered, in a warm place for about 1 hour.

Knead the dough again or, if the dough is still too liquid, add a little more flour.

Form small rolls out of the dough, then let the rolls rise covered with a kitchen towel for another 20 minutes.

Beat and whisk the egg and brush it on the rolls.

Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 400 °F (200 °C) for about 15 minutes until the rolls are golden yellow and then serve warm.
