Ingredients
  • 2 packets of yeast
  • ¼ cup lukewarm water
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 5 cups (or more) flour
  • 1½ tsp. ground cardamom
  • 1-2 TBSP. butter, melted
  • Pearl sugar
Instructions
  1. Dissolve the yeast in the water and let it proof for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Scald the milk. Add butter, sugar, and salt and mix well. Cool the mixture and mix in the eggs.
  3. Measure the flour in the bowl of a stand mixer equipped with a hook. Add the dissolved yeast and the cooled milk mixture and beat well. If necessary, a little more flour to make a soft and pliable dough.
  4. Place the dough in greased bowl. Cover and let rise for an hour. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and form into two rings (or any other desired shape).
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the rings on two parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Let the rings rise until almost double in bulk. Brush the rings with melted butter. Sprinkle with pearl sugar and bake them for 20-25 minutes.
