Kaffeebröd is a traditional Swedish pastry, particularly enjoyed during fika, the Swedish coffee break. This delicious tea ring has a sweet, buttery flavor that will delight your taste buds. There's nothing like the aroma of warm cinnamon and sugar to get you out of bed in the morning. The pastry has a fluffy texture on the inside, wrapped in a crispy layer that melts in your mouth. Kaffeebröd is the perfect weekend baking project to share with your loved ones.

Instructions

1.In a small saucepan, heat milk until just scalded; remove from heat and stir in butter, sugar, and salt.
2.In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
3.In a large bowl, whisk together scalded milk mixture and beaten eggs. Stir in dissolved yeast.
4.Add sifted flour, 1 cup at a time, stirring vigorously after each addition until dough pulls together.
5.Lightly oil a bowl and transfer dough to it, turning to coat. Cover with a damp cloth and allow to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
6.On a floured surface, roll out dough to form a small rectangle. Brush the top with melted butter.
7.Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts together and sprinkle generously over the buttered dough.
8.Roll up tightly and pinch together the ends to form a ring. Place on a greased cookie sheet and let rise again, another 30 minutes.
9.Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
10.Let cool, then prepare the confectioners' sugar icing: mix together confectioners' sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over cooled pastry.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

While Kaffeebröd is not considered particularly healthy, it can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. The nuts in this recipe add some healthy fats and protein, while the cinnamon has anti-inflammatory properties and can aid in regulating blood sugar levels. Confectioners’ sugar should be used sparingly as it does not provide any nutritional value.
