Sweet Sourdough Knots with Lemon Coconut Filling

For me, summer tastes of fruity citrus fruits, fresh berries, coconuts and white chocolate. And that’s exactly what this summer version of Norwegian cinnamon knots tastes like. The lemon-coconut knots have the same fluffy, soft dough, but with a summery, fruity filling. You can either leave the dough to rest overnight or mix it in the morning in summer temperatures and bake it in the afternoon.

The sweet knots are made without yeast. The sourdough ensures that the lemon-coconut knots are still soft and delicious after a few days. If you’re looking for a variation for autumn and winter, try these chocolate coconut knots!

  • A Danish Whisk* – especially if you don’t use a kitchen machine. This allows you to mix your ingredients without the whole dough sticking to the spoon.
  • A kitchen scale*.
  • You can use a stainless steel dough knife* to cut your dough pieces or shape your loaves.
  • A wooden rolling pin*.
  • A steam tray consisting of a stainless steel oven mould* and lava stones*. The tray is filled with the stones and placed on the bottom of the oven during preheating. When you put your bread in the oven, pour hot water onto the stones. This creates steam, which ensures that your bread rises well.
  • A cooling rack* for bread, rolls and waffles.
  • A pizza cutter* for sweet knots, croissants etc.
