Sunday lunch: Pulla (Finnish sweet bread)
I have absolutely no idea how I came up with the idea of making a Finnish sweet bread for a picnic with friends on Hampstead Heath.
I seem to remember waking up at stupid o'clock, wanting to impress people with my culinary skills, then going to the supermarket, and the next thing I knew I was crushing cardamom seeds. Sans mortar and pestle.
It is absolutely delicious dipped in strong tea. Probably not very Finnish, but it makes me go yum just thinking about it.
This is a recipe I did not need to fiddle with to adapt it to my taste, so you can view the Bread machine Pulla recipe at cooksrecipes.com.
