all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

Mix warm water with active dry yeast and sugar in a bowl and let sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.

Combine melted unsalted butter, sugar, salt, and eggs in a large mixing bowl.

Add the yeast mixture to the bowl and stir to combine.

Gradually add bread flour/all-purpose flour and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.

Cover the dough with a cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-1.5 hours.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle.

Spread softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground cardamom evenly.

Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into equal pieces.

Place the slices in a baking dish lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them.

Cover the dish and let the buns rise for another 30-45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake the buns until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
