⚠️ Untested Recipe: This recipe hasn’t been tested yet. Measurements and instructions may need adjustment. Wonderful, rustic rolls with plenty of apricots and nuts. Ingredients 350 g cold water (3.5 dl) 2–3 g fresh yeast (a piece the size of a pea) 100 g spelt flour (dinkelmjöl) (1.5 dl) 1½ tsp salt 100 g dried apricots, cut into small pieces 50 g walnuts 350 g special wheat flour (vetemjöl special) (6 dl) Instructions Weigh up the water in a bowl and stir the yeast into it. Weigh all other ingredients, pour straight from the package and zero the scale between each ingredient to save on dishes. Mix the ingredients by hand using a spoon. You can run the dough in a mixer, but it’s not necessary. The important thing is that everything is mixed thoroughly. Make sure no flour is left dry and unmixed. Let the dough rest at room temperature in a bowl covered with plastic for 12–14 hours. Set the oven to 230–250°C, convection, and place a tray in the middle of the oven. Take out a piece of parchment paper. Shape the dough with the help of 2 spoons into 6 large rolls and place them on the parchment paper. Dust lightly on top if you want. Remove the tray when the oven is hot, and pull the parchment paper with the rolls onto the hot tray. Bake the rolls in the middle of the oven for 15 minutes. Let cool slightly before cutting into them. Source: Maria Blohm, Långjäst och lättbakat ...

Traditional Swedish rolls made with vört (a sweet malt drink), raisins, and bread syrup. Perfect for the holidays. Ingredients 6 g fresh yeast 500 g water (5 dl) 1 tsp salt 2 tbsp rapeseed or olive oil (30 ml) 100-150 ml liquid vört (1 packet vört mix, spice bag 75 g according to recipe) 90 g raisins (1.5 dl) 120 g graham flour (grahammjöl) (2 dl) 480 g wheat flour (8 dl) 70 g bread syrup (brödsirap) (0.5 dl) Instructions Make the dough: Crumble the yeast into the cold water in a bowl until the yeast has dissolved. Mix in salt, oil, and vört mix, stir thoroughly. Add raisins and stir in the graham flour (grahammjöl). Then add the wheat flour, the dough should be quite loose. NOTE! I’ve received some comments on this and it seems that several have gotten a bit too loose dough after fermentation (hence I’ve changed the recipe to say 400-700 ml, instead of just 400 ml as it can vary a bit depending on the quality of wheat flour, etc.). So you’ll have to experiment here. The dough should be loose but not runny! More like a batter, and it shouldn’t be so firm that you can knead it. ...
