Pour half of the milk into a pan and heat it up.

Add 4 tbsp of butter to the milk and let it melt.

Cool the milk and butter mixture slightly before adding yeast.

In a bowl, mix 1 tbsp of sugar, 1 tsp of cinnamon, 1 tsp of salt, and 0.5 tsp of cardamom with 2 cups of flour.

Dissolve the yeast in the milk mixture once cooled and bubbly.

Add the remaining milk and 1 whole egg to the yeast mixture and mix well.

Add about 2/3 of the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix with an electric mixer for about 5 minutes.

Knead the dough by hand for a couple of minutes, adding more flour if necessary until the right consistency is achieved.

Place the dough in a bowl and let it rise for half an hour to an hour.

Mix 8 tbsp of butter, 1/3 cup of sugar, and 1 tbsp of cinnamon to create the filling.

Roll out the dough to about 10 inches long and 6 inches wide.

Spread the cinnamon filling over the rolled-out dough and roll it up into a loaf.

Pinch the seams and place the loaf seam-side down in a greased pan.

Cover the loaf and let it rise until doubled in size, about half an hour to an hour.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Slice the loaf 4-5 times before baking.

Bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.

Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Mix 1.75 cups of powdered sugar with 0.25 cup of water for the glaze and pour over the cooled bread.
