Ingredients

Dough
Step 1
In a measuring cup, combine 1 cup of warm milk (40 C), 1 tsp of sugar and 1 packet of yeast. Dissolve and let yeast activate for 10 minutes until foamy and about double in size.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, cinnamon, cardamom and salt. Mix well.
Step 3
Add activated yeast and melted butter to flour. Mix until well combined and knead for 5 minutes. Be sure to not overknead as this can result in a tougher texture.
Step 4
Transfer dough onto a floured surface and form into a ball. Place dough ball into a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and set aside for minimum 40 minutes.
Filling
Step 5
In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the filling and mix until creamy and smooth.
Shaping
Step 6
Preheat oven to 435°F.
Step 7
On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 12” x 18” rectangle.
Step 8
With a spatula or offset knife, spread the filling all the way to the edge.
Step 9
Roll dough onto itself to form a cylinder. With a sharp knife cut 2” thick slices and place in a greased baking sheet.
Step 10
Let dough rise for another 45 minutes or until almost doubled in size.
Step 11
Bake for 8-12 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with syrup before serving.
