==Directions==
#In a small mixing bowl soften yeast in warm water; set aside. 
#In a large mixing bowl stir together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, the 1/4 cup brown sugar, salt, and the 1/2 teaspoon cardamom or nutmeg. 
#Cut in the cold butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. 
#Stir in the softened yeast, eggs, milk, and almond extract until combined. 
#Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours or until dough is easy to handle. 
#For filling, stir together ground almonds, the 3 tablespoons brown sugar, granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cardamom or allspice; set aside. 
#Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 3 portions. 
#Shape each portion into a ball. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. 
#Gently roll out each portion of dough to a 10-inch circle. 
#Place 1 circle on a 12-inch pizza pan or a large baking sheet lined with greased foil. 
#Brush with half of the melted butter; sprinkle with half of the filling. 
#Cover with another circle of dough. 
#Brush with remaining butter; sprinkle with remaining filling. Top with the last dough circle. 
#With kitchen shears or a sharp knife, cut the stack of dough into 12 wedges, cutting to within 1 inch of the center. 
#Carefully lift each wedge and turn over twice to create a twist in each piece. 
#Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours before baking. 
#Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes before baking. 
#If desired, brush with milk; sprinkle with coarse sugar. 
#Bake in a 350 degree F. oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until bread sounds hollow when lightly tapped. 
#Cool slightly on foil on a wire rack. Serve warm.
