  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cardamom

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk to about 110°F (45°C) and dissolve the yeast in it. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the sugar, flour, salt, and cardamom. Add the melted butter, egg, and yeast mixture. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  3. Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
