1. Mix the water with the yeast, set aside to cool to room temperature. Add the milk and egg to the water/yeast mixture and mix to combine.
2. Place the flour, sugar, salt and cardamom in the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl. Mix for 30 seconds to combine the ingredients. Toss in the butter cubes and run the mixer on low briefly to distribute the butter. You don’t want to break the butter down at this point. If working by hand, toss in the butter cubes and mix them through the flour.
3. With the mixer running on low, add the liquid all at once and mix just until it is absorbed. If working by hand stir the liquid in until it’s mostly absorbed. Turn the rough mass out onto the work surface and gather the dough into a large ball. Wrap the ball in plastic and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. The dough will rise slightly while refrigerated.
4. On a lightly floured surface, use your hands to pat the dough into a rough rectangle, then roll the dough to a 12” x 16” rectangle. Lightly brush the surface of the dough with cold water. Fold the dough into thirds, like a letter. Lightly brush the surface of the dough with cold water. Roll the dough up from the short side. You’ll now have a short log.
