ASMR 🌙 Messy baking - Swedish saffron buns (no talking)

"Lucia" is celebrated on 13 December in Sweden. I was in Stockholm during this day so I wanted to try baking the traditional saffron buns myself as well! They turned out a bit ugly (and yes, I didn't even attempt the "cat" shape) but they are delicious! Ingredients: 42 g (1.5 oz) yeast 370 ml (12.5 fl oz) milk 170 g (6 oz) butter 1 g (0.04 oz) saffron 600 g (21.2 oz) flour A very small amount of a clear spirit such as vodka, gin, aquavit 130 g (4.6 oz) sugar A pinch of salt 2 eggs Method: 1) Mix the saffron with the spirit in a small container. Set aside. (Secret tip from a Swedish friend!) 2) Melt the butter in a saucepan and pour in the milk. Feel the warmth of the mixture with your finger and wait until it is body temperature. 3) Crumble the yeast in a bowl and pour it over the butter and milk mixture. Stir until the yeast has dissolved. 4) In another bowl, mix together the flour, sugar and salt. Pour over the butter-milk mixture, mix in the saffron mixture and beat in the eggs. Knead the dough with the hook attachment of an electric mixer for about 3-5 minutes until the dough is smooth. 5) Leave to rise for 35 minutes under a cloth. Turn on the oven to 225 °C (437 F). 6) Flour a baking tray and pour out the dough. Divide the dough into equal sized pieces a bit smaller than the palm of your hand. 7) Roll the pieces of dough lightly in your hand and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Leave to rise for 35 minutes under a cloth. 8) Bake the buns in the oven for 6 minutes. (Mine were a bit bigger so the needed about 8 min.) They should not get too much color. The buns may feel a little doughy when they come out of the oven, but they will bake themselves and become perfect after a while.
