Finnish Cardamom Loaf

Teresa Ambra
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.

Equipment

  • 1 breadmaker for a 2-pound loaf
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 pastry brush
  • 1 electric knife preferred, or sharp bread knife to cut bread

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp. unsalted butter cut in small slivers and pieces
  • 4 cups bread flour don’t use all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup honey or brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp. sea salt or kosher salt
  • 1 tsp. ground cardamom
  • 1 1/4 tsp. bread machine yeast

Instructions
 

  • Layer ingredients in breadmaker canister in order listed.
  • Bake on regular bread machine cycle.
  • Mine takes 3 hours 50 minutes.
  • Allow bread to cool 15 minutes before removing from canister.
  • Butter top and sides of bread to prevent crusts from hardening.
  • Allow bread to cool an additional 15 minutes before cutting.
  • About 20 half slices.

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.
