Step 1
Heat oven to 425°F. Mix softened butter, sugar, and cardamom in a small bowl until fragrant.
Step 2
Divide dough in half. Roll each half into a 12-inch rope, then twist the two ropes together into a braid.
Step 3
Coil the braid into a spiral on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Brush with beaten egg.
Step 4
Spread the cardamom-butter mixture over the top, then sprinkle with pearl sugar.
Step 5
Bake until deep golden brown, 8–10 minutes. Watch closely—the edges should look crispy and the surface glossy.
Step 6
Cool on the pan for 2 minutes, then serve warm or at room temperature.
