Ingredients
Dough
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk warmed
- ¼ cup butter melted
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 packet active dry yeast
Filling
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup butter softened
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, sugar, cardamom, and salt.
- In a small saucepan, warm the milk and melt the butter. Add to the flour mixture along with the beaten egg and yeast.
- Beat until smooth. Gradually add the remaining flour to form a soft dough.
- Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.
- Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- For the filling, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Punch down dough and roll into a 12x9-in. rectangle. Spread with softened butter and sprinkle with the sugar mixture.
- Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Place seam side down on a greased baking sheet; pinch ends together to form a ring.
- With scissors, cut from the outside edge two-thirds of the way toward the center of the ring at 1-in. intervals. Separate strips slightly; twist to allow filling to show.
- Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool on a wire rack. If desired, drizzle with icing.
