Method

Step by step.

1. 1Stir the yeast into lukewarm milk (approx. 37 °C). Add sugar, salt, cardamom and most of the flour.
2. 2Knead 8–10 min. Add room-temperature butter in cubes and knead until the dough leaves the bowl and is glossy.
3. 3Prove under a cloth until doubled, about 1 hour.
4. 4Divide into portions and roll round buns. Place on baking paper with space between. Prove again 30 min. Brush with beaten egg.
5. 5Set the air fryer to Bake and preheat 3 min. Bake at 160 °C for 8–12 min. They should stay pale and soft — do not overbake.
6. 6The air fryer takes 4–6 buns at a time. The rest waits under a cloth.
