Cardamom Sweet Rolls

In a small bowl, combine the yeast and warm milk and let sit for five minutes for the yeast to dissolve.

Then pour the yeast mixture into the bowl of a Kitchen Aid mixer and add the sugar, cardamom, two and a half tablespoons of softened butter and beaten egg. Mix for three minutes on medium speed. Add the flour and salt and mix on high speed for six minutes, until the dough becomes a smooth and elastic ball.

Place dough ball in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise for two hours. It will double in size.

Punch down dough on a floured surface and roll out into a wide rectangle. Using your fingers, smoosh the 3 Tablespoons of soft butter across the top of the dough and then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar to thoroughly coat. Roll up your dough, starting from the left side, and then slice the roll into 1 inch rolls.

Place rolls on a lined baking sheet, cover and let stand for thirty minutes.

Brush with beaten egg and bake for twenty minutes at 350F, until brown and golden.
