In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup warm milk, 1 cup sugar, and 2 teaspoons yeast. Let it sit for 10 minutes until frothy.

In a large bowl, mix 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.

Add the frothy yeast mixture, 2 large eggs, and 1/2 cup melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix well.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a large rectangle.

Spread a mixture of 1/2 cup mixed nuts, 1/2 cup dried fruits, and the zest of 1 orange evenly over the dough.

Roll the dough tightly into a log and shape it into a circle.

Place the shaped dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Let the dough rise again for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack before dusting with powdered sugar.
