For a richer flavor, consider using whole milk or adding a touch of heavy cream.
If you don't have pearl sugar, coarse sugar or even a simple powdered sugar glaze will work beautifully.
The aroma of cardamom is key to this bread; use fresh, high-quality ground cardamom for the best results.
Ensure your yeast is fresh to guarantee a good rise.
