Recipe Introduction


This is a traditional food in Finland. Women have baked this coffee bread
every week (usually on Saturdays) and still do, since Finland is a country of
tradition, and many of their customs and foods have been around for many,
many years.




List of Ingredients




2 cups Milk
1 or 2 eggs
2 tsp salt
1 heaping tblsp cardamom
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups butter or margarine
1 kg (app. 7 cups) flour (Robin Hood Best for Bread works well)
2 packages dry yeast, or 50g fresh yeast



Recipe



Mix eggs, salt, sugar, and cardamom together. Put butter and milk in saucepan
on stove until butter melts. Add to egg mixture. Add flour. Put yeast into
cup with a bit of warm water, (If using fresh yeast, let it melt). Make sure
dough is no warmer than skin temperature, then pour into dough.
Knead dough well, then sprinkle flour on top, and let it rise about 1 hr.
Roll dough into 3" balls, or braid into 2 loaves. Put on greased cookie
sheet, cover with towel and let rise 15-20 min. Whip one egg, and brush on
pulla. Top with coarse sugar. Bake at 350-400F, until golden.
