-
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, melted butter, beaten egg, ground cardamom, and salt. Mix well.
-
Add the yeast mixture to the bowl and mix until well combined.
-
Gradually add the flour, mixing well after each addition, until a soft dough forms.
-
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
-
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 3 equal parts. Roll each part into a long rope.
-
Braid the ropes together and transfer the braid onto the prepared baking sheet.
-
Brush the braid with milk and sprinkle pearl sugar on top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
