Make the dough: Melt butter in a 1-qt. saucepan over medium. Remove
from heat and stir in milk and yeast; let sit until foamy, about 10
minutes. Whisk flour, sugar, cardamom, and salt in a bowl. Stir in
yeast mixture until dough forms. Transfer dough to a lightly floured
surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 3 minutes. Return
dough to bowl and cover with a clean dish towel; let sit in a warm
place until dough is doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Make the filling: Mix granulated sugar, butter, cinnamon, and
cardamom in a bowl until smooth.
Assemble the bread: On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into an
11" x 17" rectangle, about 1/4" thick. Spread filling over dough,
leaving a 1/2" border along edges. Working from one long end, roll
dough into a tight cylinder; transfer seam side down to a parchment
paper-lined baking sheet. Cover with dish towel; let sit in a warm
place until dough has doubled in size once more, about 45 minutes.
Bake the bread: Heat oven to 375F. Using kitchen shears and starting
1" from ends of dough, make crosswise cuts, spaced 1" apart,
three-quarters of the way through dough. Fan dough slices away from
the center, alternating left to right. Brush dough with egg and
sprinkle with pearl sugar; bake until golden brown, about 22 minutes.
Let bread cool completely before serving.
