Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll the pizza dough into a 10-by-12-inch rectangle on a sheet of parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    Mix the softened butter with sugar, cardamom, and cinnamon until fragrant and well combined.

  3. Step 3

    Spread the spiced butter mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a thin border on all sides.

  4. Step 4

    Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log, then cut crosswise into 8 equal pieces.

  5. Step 5

    Arrange the swirls on the parchment paper cut-side up, sprinkle generously with pearl sugar, and bake for 12 minutes until golden.

  6. Step 6

    Cool on a rack for 2 minutes, then serve warm.
