Directions

  1. 1In a bowl, add warm milk, sugar, and yeast.
  2. 2Give the mixture a good mix and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  3. 3Add an egg and whisk well.
  4. 4Add melted butter.
  5. 5Add flour, ground cardamom, and salt.
  6. 6Mix until it forms a shaggy dough.
  7. 7Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead until it's tacky but doesn't stick to your hands. Add extra flour if too sticky.
  8. 8Place the kneaded dough into an oiled bowl, cover it, and leave it in a dark, warm place to rise for 1 hour until risen.
  9. 9Turn the risen dough into a deep oven dish lined with parchment paper.
  10. 10Make small indentations in the dough with your fingers, then cover and let it rise for another hour in a warm, dark place.
  11. 11Meanwhile, in a small saucepan on medium heat, melt butter.
  12. 12Add brown sugar and cinnamon to the melted butter and mix.
  13. 13Let the topping simmer and then remove from heat.
  14. 14Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
  15. 15Once the dough has risen again, create deeper indentations with your fingers, resembling focaccia.
  16. 16Drizzle the melted topping all over the dough, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
  17. 17Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes until golden and crispy.
