FINNISH CARDAMOM BREAD
Steps:
- 1. Combine the butter and milk in a medium saucepan and heat until the butter is melted. Cool to lukewarm, then whisk in the yeast. Add 2 1/2 cups flour and beat until the batter is smooth. Let the mixture stand 1/2 hour, or until a bubbling action starts. Beat in the eggs, sugar, salt and cardamom. Blend in approximately 3 1/2 cups flour, adding more if necessary. Knead thoroughly for 10 minutes. Place the dough in a large buttered bowl, turning it in the bowl so the dough is buttered on all sides. Cover with a towel or plastic rap and let rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours. 2. Divide the dough in half and cut each half in thirds to form 2 braided loaves (or shape into 2 regular loaves). Place dough on greased cookie sheets and let rise until tripled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. 3. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350F. Bake the bread for 45 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack set over waxed paper. 4. In a small bowl, combine the glaze ingredients, stirring until smooth. Pour the glaze over the breads while still warm. Cool complelety.
