How to Make Finnish Sweet Cardamom Raisin Bread Pulla
- In a large bowl, combine lukewarm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
- In a separate bowl, cream together softened butter and remaining sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in salt and cardamom.
- Gradually add the flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Stir in the raisins.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if needed to prevent sticking.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it in half. Shape each half into a long loaf or braid them together, depending on your preference.
- Place the shaped dough in a greased baking pan.
- Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Brush the top of the bread with milk or egg wash, and sprinkle with pearl sugar (optional).
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 93-95°C (200-205°F).
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
