Instructions:

Prepare Dough:
- Place water, butter, bread flour, sugar, salt, cardamom, and dry yeast into the bread machine pan, following the order recommended by the manufacturer.
-
Dough Cycle:
- Select the dough cycle on your bread machine and let it work its magic.
-
Rest and Divide:
- Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the machine, punch it down gently, and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
-
Portioning:
- Divide the dough into 24 portions if you used a 1 1/2-pound dough, or into 32 portions if you used a 2-pound dough.
-
Shaping:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough into a 12-inch long rope.
-
Knotting:
- Tie each rope into a loose knot, ensuring they’re not too tight.
-
Forming Rosettes:
- Tuck the top end of each knot under the roll, then bring the bottom end up and tuck it into the center of the roll, forming a rosette shape.
-
Rising:
- Place the formed rosettes about 3 inches apart on greased baking sheets.
- Cover them and let them rise in a warm place for approximately 30 minutes, or until they nearly double in size.
-
Preheat and Brush:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
- Brush the egg wash over the risen rolls for a beautiful golden finish.
-
Bake:
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the rolls turn golden brown and emit a heavenly aroma.
-
Cool and Fill:
- Once baked, remove the rolls from the baking sheets and let them cool on wire racks.
- Once cooled, spoon lemon curd into the center of each roll, or for a decorative touch, pipe the lemon curd using a pastry bag fitted with a star tip.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve these Lemon Curd Rosettes warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the delightful combination of fluffy rolls and tangy lemon curd filling!
