Orange Cardamom Buns
Description
Orange Cardamom Buns feature a dough enriched with melted butter, lukewarm milk, and maple syrup, balanced with bread flour and dry yeast. Ground cardamom and orange zest add distinctive spice and citrus notes, infusing the buns with aroma. After mixing and kneading, the dough rests to rise until doubled in size, then is portioned into 16 equal buns for a second rise. Each bun is glazed with beaten egg before baking at 200°C (fan assisted 180°C) to develop a golden, slightly crisp crust. The texture inside is soft and pillowy, with subtle sweetness and fragrant spice from the cardamom and orange zest.
These buns work well fresh from the oven for breakfast with butter or jam. Their balanced flavor profile also makes them an appealing complement to tea or coffee breaks. The recipe yields a sizeable batch suitable for sharing or storing for a few days.
