Steps
Step 1
▢ Heat the milk until it's lukewarm. Add the yeast and dissolve.
Step 2
▢ Add the sugar, cardamom, vanilla, and about 2/3 of the flour. ▢ Mix the dough together either by hand or in a mixer with a dough hook, slowly adding the rest of the flour.
Step 3
You might need a bit more or less flour to form dough that isn't too sticky to knead. When the dough forms a nice ball, add the softened butter and continue to knead the dough for about ten minutes.
Step 4
▢ Roll the dough into a cylinder and cut into six equal parts. Roll each piece into a round bun and set them in a greased muffin/cake tin.
Step 5
Cover and let rise until doubled in size (about an hour).

Substitutions
flour (a gluten-free blend (not plain rice flour alone for bread)) → a gluten-free blend (not plain rice flour alone for bread)
Coatings and roux can swap. Yeast breads need a blend designed for gluten-free baking.
butter → olive-oil
Use a little less oil than butter. Pastry and laminated doughs are a different problem.
egg (silken tofu or skip (depends on the dish)) → silken tofu or skip (depends on the dish)
Carbonara without egg is not carbonara. Fried rice can skip the egg. We will not pretend otherwise.
