The bun is the star of the Nordic baking scene. This book is a treasure trove of beloved bun recipes from across the region. Woven into generations and cultures, it evokes childhood memories while keeping up with the latest baking trends. Nordic buns come in countless shapes and forms, yet the essentials remain much the same: milk, yeast, sugar, wheat flour, butter and cardamom.
Flour-dusted hands, dough rising under a kitchen towel, beautiful shapes, generous fillings spilling out – and that first bite, shared in good company. This is what buns are all about. Inside, you'll find plenty to tempt you in the kitchen, from cloud-like cream buns to cinnamon-roll focaccia and everything in between. And for those days when time is of essence, there are shortcuts with ready-made dough, along with clever ways to give yesterday's buns a fresh lease of life.
