Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Unroll dough onto a sheet pan and gently stretch it into a 10×12-inch rectangle.

  2. Step 2

    Spread softened cream cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border on all sides.

  3. Step 3

    Mix cinnamon, sugar, and cardamom in a small bowl, then sprinkle evenly over the cream cheese.

  4. Step 4

    Starting at one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice into 8 equal pieces.

  5. Step 5

    Arrange rolls cut-side up on the sheet pan. Brush lightly with melted butter.

  6. Step 6

    Bake until golden brown, 10–12 minutes. Serve warm.
