Prepare cardamom by crushing seeds and grinding them.

In a large bowl, combine milk, egg, yeast, salt, sugar, cardamom, and melted butter.

Whisk until salt and sugar dissolve, then add white bread flour and mix to form a sticky dough.

Place dough in a clean bowl and shape into a round ball for bulk fermentation.

6

Let dough ferment for about 2 hours, folding it halfway through after 1 hour.

7

Dust dough with flour, flatten it, and roll it out to a rectangle approximately 2 ft by 15 in.

8

Spread filling evenly over the dough, leaving a gap at the top, and brush the top with water.

9

Roll the dough tightly from the bottom up, ensuring it stays tight as you go.

10

Cut the rolled dough into individual portions, about 14 pieces.

11

Place rolls on a nonstick paper-lined baking tray, pressing each roll slightly with a finger for final proofing.

Let rolls proof for 1.5 to 2 hours in a warm area.

13

Glaze with egg and sprinkle with pearl sugar before baking.
