Glaze (Optional)

- 1/4 Cup Water

Directions

1. Heat milk, butter, and brown sugar in a saucepan until it has all melted. Pour into a separate bowl and let it cool to room temperature.

2. Add yeast to milk mixture and let it bloom for 5 minutes.

3. In a stand mixer, mix flour, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt. Add yeast mixture and mix with a dough hook for five minutes on medium speed. Or knead your dough for 10 minutes. Your dough should be sticky, but together.

4. Put the dough into a bowl and let rise at room temperature for 1 hour or until doubled.

5. Mix filling ingredients in a small bowl till combined.

6. On a floured surface, roll dough into a 12 by 18-inch rectangle. With 18 inches on the bottom.

7. Spread filling over 2/3 of the dough. Fold the empty side over 1/3 of the filling side. Then fold the last filling side over the folded side. You should now have a 6 by 12-inch rectangle.

8. Cut dough into 12 strips with the 12-inch side down. You should have 12 1 by 6-inch rectangles.

9. Take one strip. Cut it in half 3/4 of the way down, leaving 1/4 of it intact. You should have long pants like shape. Twist the legs around several times.

10. Tie your legs in a loose knot. Place knot on top of the uncut portion. Tuck in ends. Don't worry too much about the look. It should just look like a messy knot. As long as it is twisted your good.

11. Repeat with the rest of the strips.

12. Preheat oven to 365°F. I used a baking stone to keep the temperate for constant, but this is optional.

13. Let rise for 40 minutes on 2 baking trays lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. You can sprinkle some granulates sugar on them if you want.

14. Bake for 30-50 minutes. The time will vary according to your oven. Just bake until the bottoms are light brown. Let cool.

15. In a small saucepan combine all glaze ingredients on medium/low heat. Stir occasionally and wait until and the sugar granules have melted. The glaze is optional but recommended.

16. Brush with glaze and serve warm.

17. Enjoy!
