Ingredients

12 servings

  • 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
  • ¼ cup water
  • 4 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 ¼ cups lukewarm milk
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup golden raisins (Optional)
  • ¼ cup dried cherries (Optional)
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries (Optional)
  • 2 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

  • Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water and let stand until dissolved, about 5 minutes. Place the flour, salt, sugar, cardamom, 1 1/4 cups of milk, butter and egg into the bread machine. Pour the yeast mixture on top. Close the lid and set the machine for the Dough setting. If using raisins, dried cherries or dried cranberries, add them at the beep.
  • When the dough has finished, divide into 12 portions and shape into balls. Place them into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside to rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove the plastic wrap from the rolls. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Make frosting by whisking together the confectioners' sugar, 1/4 cup of milk and almond extract until smooth. When the buns are cool, drizzle frosting over them in a cross shape.
