Add yeast and milk to a bowl and whisk to incorporate the yeast.

Add flour, sugar, cardamom, butter, and salt to the bowl.

Mix on low speed for 5 minutes to combine the ingredients.

Increase speed to medium and mix for 40 minutes until the dough is smooth and shiny.

Cover the dough with a tea towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Turn the dough out and shape it into a rough rectangle.

Let the dough rest for an additional 10 minutes to relax the gluten.

Make the cinnamon filling by mixing softened butter, sugar, and ground cinnamon in a bowl.

Lightly flour the top of the dough and underneath to prevent sticking.

Roll the dough into a rectangle about 1 cm thick.

Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough using an offset spatula.

Starting from one corner, fold the dough over and pinch the edge to seal.

Stretch and roll the dough while paying attention to the corners to keep it even.

Cut the rolled dough into pieces using a large dull pastry knife, aiming for pieces between 95 and 105 grams each.
