Lussebullar/Saffron Buns (Gluten & Sugar Free, Lower in Fat)
This is a gluten and sugar free recipe of a classic Swedish saffron bun
Ingredients
- 35 g Butter melted
- 2 1/2 dl Milk
- 25 g Yeast for sweet bread
- 1 dl Stevia granular sugar
- 125 g Curd cheese
- 1/2 g Saffron
- A pinch of Salt
- 2 1/4 dl Rice flour
- 1 dl Corn flour
- 1 1/4 dl Chickpea flour
- 1/2 dl Potato starch
- 1/4 dl Psyllium husk
- 1 Egg whisked
- Raising, to top (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a small pot on low heat. Stir in the milk and let it become finger warm.
- crumble the yeast in a bowl and pour the butter/milk mixture into the bowl. Stir using a wooden spoon until the yeast has dissolved.
- Add in curd cheese, saffron and sugar and stir until the curd cheese has dissolved.
- You can either add the batter to a blender with a dough hook or combine the ingredients by using the wooden spoon in the bowl. I used a blender.
- Combine rice, corn, chickpea flour, potato starch, salt and psyllium husk in a bowl.
- Add wet and dry ingredients to the blender and rund for approximately five minutes, until the dough is firm but still sticky. Or stir together wet and dry ingredients in a bowl and stir until you have a firm dough.
- The dough will be quite fluffy and a bit sticky, but you should still be able to handle it without getting dough all over your hands.
- Place the dough in a bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towl and let it rest for 30-40 minutes. It will rise a bit, but not double in size.
- Add a little bit of flour to a plain surface and roll 15-20 cm long stripes (depending on how big you prefer your buns). Dont make them too thin, but not too thick either.
- Roll them together into a S-shaped form, place on parchment covered baking sheet.
- Repeat with the rest of the dough.
- Cover the baking sheet with a clean kitchen towl and let it rest for about one hours.
- When the buns are ready to bake preheat the oven to 225 degrees Celsius.
- Whisk the egg and brush the buns.
- Add raisins in the middle of each swirl (optional).
- Bake in the upper part of the oven for 8-12 minutes, until they are golden brown.
