Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
~10 min - 2
Add the remaining granulated sugar, salt, melted butter, and cardamom to the yeast mixture. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
~5 min - 3
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
~70 min - 4
Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between them.
~5 min - 5
Press the chopped pistachios onto the tops of the dough balls.
~2 min - 6
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
~18 min - 7
While the rolls are baking, gently warm the honey and water in a small saucepan over low heat until combined.
~5 min - 8
Immediately after taking the rolls out of the oven, brush them with the warm honey glaze.
Tips
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon to the dough along with the cardamom.
- Serve these rolls warm with a cup of Turkish tea or coffee for an authentic breakfast experience.
