Instructions
- In a bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk with the sugar and let stand 5 minutes until it foams.
- Add the soft butter, the syrup, the salt and part of the flour. Mix, then gradually work in the rest of the flour.
- Knead for 8 to 10 minutes until you get a supple, smooth dough that no longer sticks to your fingers.
- Let the dough rise under a cloth for 1 hour, until it has doubled in size.
- Divide into 6 balls, flatten them into discs about 1 cm thick and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg, sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar, then let rise again for 20 minutes.
- Bake at 200 °C for 15 to 20 minutes, until the kubbar are nicely golden.
- Let cool slightly on a rack and serve with butter.
Variations and tips
Raisin version. Add rehydrated raisins to the dough before kneading for a fruitier taste.
Without yeast. Replace the yeast with 1 teaspoon of baking powder and reduce the rising time to 10 minutes; the texture will be denser, closer to a scone.
