In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, ground cardamom, and salt.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture, melted butter, and beaten egg.

Use a wooden spoon or your hands to mix the ingredients until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10-15 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball.

Arrange the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with a kitchen towel, and allow them to rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
