Finnish Cardamom Loaf
Finnish Cardamom Loaf is a delightful and tasty homemade bread made in the breadmaker. This sturdy and savory bread uses cardamom as the main seasoning. It's terrific for breakfast, but also wonderful to serve with soup and chili on cold, winter nights. Recipe makes a 2-lb. bread loaf.

Notes
NOTE: Homemade bread uses no preservatives. Refrigerate bread after two days to prevent mold.
NOTE: I recommend using Fleischmann's bread yeast over any other brand.
NOTE: Regular flour does not contain enough gluten so bread will not adhere as well. Bread flour is recommended so bread does not end up crumbly.
