Ingredients

• 1 cup Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cardamom
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons Pearl sugar or sliced almonds (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In the breadmaker pan, add the milk, egg, and melted butter in the order recommended by the manufacturer.

Step 2

Add the granulated sugar, salt, and ground cardamom on top of the wet ingredients.

Step 3

Carefully pour the all-purpose flour over the wet ingredients to create a barrier between the wet and yeast.

Step 4

Make a small well in the center of the flour and add in the active dry yeast, ensuring it does not touch the liquid ingredients.

Step 5

Place the breadmaker pan into the machine and select the 'Sweet Bread' or 'Basic Bread' setting, choosing a light or medium crust depending on your preference.

Step 6

Start the breadmaker and let it complete the kneading, rising, and baking cycles (approximately 3 hours).

Step 7

Once baking is complete, remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack.

Step 8

For an optional topping, sprinkle pearl sugar or sliced almonds over the loaf right before the final baking cycle, if your breadmaker allows.

Step 9

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature, preferably alongside a cup of coffee.
