Recipe I





1 qt. milk


1 1/4 c. margarine, divided


3 pkg. yeast


2 1/2 c. sugar


1 1/2 tsp. salt


6 eggs


5 lb. flour


20 cardamom seed, ground (remove shells and use mortar and pestle to grind)


1/4 c. cold coffee (optional)


Sugar (optional)


Blanched almonds (optional)








Scald milk with 1/2 pound margarine.





Place yeast in cup of warm water.





Pour scalded milk on sugar in a very large mixing bowl.





When milk and sugar mixture are lukewarm, add approximately 1/2 of flour and mix with egg beater or spoon. Add yeast, salt, beaten eggs, cardamom and remaining flour (reserving 1 cup of flour). Mix well and turn onto floured board. Begin kneading and when all flour is mixed, add remaining margarine. Knead until mixture no longer sticks to hands, about 7 to 10 minutes.





Place in a warm area to rise until double (approximately 2 1/2 to 3 hours). Punch down. Divide into 8 equal lumps. Divide each lump into 3 lumps. Roll out equal length 1-inch diameter cylinders for braiding.





Dust board with flour. Braid 3 strips together to make a loaf. Braid remaining to make a total of 8 loaves (adding flour as needed so dough will not stick to board). Let rise in a warm place until loaves double in size (approximately 1 1/2 hours).





Glaze with mixture of 1 egg yolk and 1/4 cup of water or cold coffee just before baking. Sprinkle with sugar and blanched almonds if you wish.





Bake on cookie sheets in preheated 325 degree oven for 45 minutes (approximately). Pulla is done when top is brown and sounds hollow when tapped.





Makes 8 loaves.

Add all ingredients into your bread machine per manufacturer. Use Sweet, White, Light crust setting. Do not use your timer, as there are ingredients that will spoil. You can either bake it in a loaf in your machine or use the dough cycle (MAKE 1 1/2 lbs. only). Upon completion, remove the dough, divide it into three sections, braid, and let rise for 30 minutes. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 25-30 minutes. Do not overbake, as it will dry out.





Glaze method: Add sugar to beaten egg and mix well. Brush on raised bread. Sprinkle sugar and poppy seeds or chopped or sliced almonds on the top and bake.
Finnish Pulla





A unique bread with a sweet flavor that makes a wonderful holiday gift! It takes about 4 hours to make, so allow yourself plenty of time.





INGREDIENTS





2 cups milk


1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)


1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast


1 cup white sugar


1 teaspoon salt


1 teaspoon ground cardamom


4 eggs, beaten


9 cups all-purpose flour


1/2 cup butter, melted


1 egg, beaten


2 tablespoons white sugar


DIRECTIONS





Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Let cool until lukewarm.





Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Stir in the lukewarm milk, sugar, salt, cardamom, 4 eggs, and enough flour to make a batter (approximately 2 cups). Beat until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add about 3 cups of the flour and beat well; the dough should be smooth and glossy in appearance. Add the melted butter or margarine, and stir well. Beat again until the dough looks glossy. Stir in the remaining flour until the dough is stiff.





Turn out of bowl onto a floured surface, cover with an inverted mixing bowl, and let rest for 15 minutes. Knead the dough until smooth and satiny. Place in a lightly greased mixing bowl, and turn the dough to grease the top. Cover with a clean dishtowel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Punch down, and let rise again until almost doubled.





Turn out again on to a floured surface, and divide into 3 parts. Divide each third into 3 again. Roll each piece into a 12 to 16 inch strip. Braid 3 strips into a loaf. You should get 3 large braided loaves. Lift the braids onto greased baking sheets. Let rise for 20 minutes.





Brush each loaf with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.





Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes. Check occasionally because the bottom burns easily.
