Cardamom Twists

First, prepare the starter by mixing 100 ml of lukewarm milk, crumbled yeast, and 50 g of plain flour. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes. After this time, it will be visible how the yeast has started to work and the mixture has doubled in volume.

Pour 150 ml of milk, the starter, 300 g of plain flour, whole wheat flour, and egg, sugar, and salt into the bowl of a stand mixer and knead on the first speed for 5 minutes. Cut the butter into pieces and gradually add them to the dough, one by one. Once combined with the dough, increase to the second speed and knead for another 5 - 10 minutes. The dough is kneaded when it pulls away from the bowl and is not sticky to the touch. Form the dough into a ball, place it back in the bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise for 1 hour.

For the filling, mix butter, sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom in a bowl. The mixture should be easy to spread but not liquid.
