butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is dairy-free and adds a subtle flavor.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk reduces calories and is suitable for lactose-intolerant individuals.

powdered sugar

🥗Healthier: stevia

💰Cheaper: granulated sugar

Stevia is a low-calorie alternative.

active dry yeast

🥗Healthier: fresh yeast

💰Cheaper: instant yeast

Fresh yeast can enhance flavor but requires careful handling.

Mix the warm milk with the active yeast. Cover it with a kitchen cloth and let it rest for 15 min.

Add the milk with the yeast to the melted butter and mix.

Add the white sugar and mix.

In a different bowl, mix the flour with the cardamom and the pinch of salt.

Add the previous mix to the bowl with the flour and also add half of the beaten egg.

Mix everything and if needed add a little bit more of flour.

Knead until the dough is a ball and cover it with a cloth.

Let it rest for 1 hour in a warm environment.

Add the filling ingredients into a bowl and mix them. Heat in the microwave for easier mixing.

Knead for a few minutes and make a large rectangle with the dough.

Spread the filling over the dough with a spatula.

Fold the dough twice and eliminate bubbles by pressing down.

Cut the dough into approximately 2 cm strips and twist them into knots.

Place the rolls in oven trays and cover them. Let them rise for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 200 ºC.

Use the remaining half of the beaten egg to paint the buns.

Sprinkle pearl sugar on top.

Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes.
