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

Gradually add flour and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Cover the dough and let rise until doubled in size.

Roll out the dough into a rectangle.

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

Mix powdered sugar with water to create a glaze and drizzle over the warm buns.
