Instructions

1. Activate the yeast: In a bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top; let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
2. Make the dough: In a large bowl, mix flour, cardamom, orange zest, salt, melted butter, and eggs. Add yeast mixture; stir to form a soft dough.
3. Knead: Turn onto a floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl; cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 1 hour).
4. Prepare the filling: Mix brown sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
5. Roll out: Punch down the dough and roll into a rectangle (½ inch thick). Spread softened butter over it and sprinkle with the sugar-cinnamon mixture.
6. Shape and bake: Roll tightly into a log, slice into pieces, and place cut-side up in a greased dish. Let rise again (30 minutes), then bake at 375°F for about 25 minutes until golden brown. Drizzle with glaze when slightly cooled.
