Pulla Bread- A unique bread with a Sweet flavor!
Ingredients:
• 2 Cups Milk
• ½ cup warm water ( 45 Celcius)
• 1 pkg or .25oz dry active yeast
• 1 cup white sugar
• 4 large eggs, beaten
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp cardamom
• 9 cups flour
• ½ cup melted butter
• 1 large egg
• 1 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp white sugar
Directions
1) In small saucepan over medium heat warm the milk until it bubbles, remove from heat. Let cool until lukewarm.
2) In a large bowl Stir together warm water and yeast. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam. Aprox. 5 minutes.
3) Stir lukewarm water, sugar, 4 beaten eggs, salt and cardamom into the yeast mixture. Beat in 2 cups of flour until combined. Add 3 cups of flour and beat until dough is smooth and elastic. Add melted butter and beat until glossy. Mix in the remaining flour until the dough is stiff.
4) Transfer dough to a floured surface, cover with an inverted mixing bowl, let rest for 15 minutes.
5) Knead dough until smooth and satiny. Then place in a lightly greased mixing bowl and turn dough to coat. Cover with a dish towel; let rise in a warm place until doubled (about an hour). Punch down the dough and let rise again until almost doubled (about an hour)
6) Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 2 baking sheets
7) Turn dough out again onto a floured surface and divide into 3 equal pieces. Divide each piece into thirds. Roll each piece into 12 to 16inch strip. Braid 3 strips into a loaf pan to get 3 large braided loaves. Life loaves onto the prepared baking sheets. Cover with a dish towel and let rise for 20 minutes
8) Beat 1 egg and 1 tbsp water together in a small bowl. Brush over the loaves and sprinkle with the 2 tbsp white sugar
9) Bake in preheated oven until the top is golden. Aprox. 25-30minutes. Check occasionally as the bottoms can burn quickly.
