Norwegian christmas bread^

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Milk, scalded
1 Yeast cake
Flour
½ cup Sugar
½ cup Butter, melted
pinch Cardamom
1 cup Raisins
¾ cup Citron, chopped
1 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Let milk cool; add yeast and enough flour to make a sponge, about 1 - 2 cups. Put in a warm place and let raise good, about an hour. Then add to it sugar, butter, cardamom, raisins, citron and salt. Mix well. Gradually add enough flour to knead into a stiff dough. Let raise again good (another hour) and then make into 2 round loaves.

Let raise again; bake at 350 degrees for about 50 minutes. A raised nut bread can be made with this recipe by omitting the raisins and citron and adding 1½ cups chopped walnuts.

Many of the recipes in this collection did not contain amounts or oven temperatures. I have typed them in as they appear in the book, typos and all.
